Coalition Whiskey is an uncommon outfit making not simply high-test rye but additionally a wide range of renditions of the spirit, every aged in a special sort of Bordeaux wine barrel — Sauternes, Margaux, and Pauillac being the three varieties accessible. That is 100% rye created from native Kentucky grains, aged 5 years earlier than bottling. We coated the Barrel Proof model just a few months again. Now we’re digging into the Margaux expression, which is completed in Bordeaux casks sourced from the Margaux area.
Take the bread-heavy base of Coalition Rye Barrel Proof and funnel it by cardboard and also you’ve obtained this baffling whiskey, which evokes neither rye nor Bordeaux wine. The closely charred, smoky nostril is pungent with smoldering wooden notes, very similar to Coalition’s unfinished expression, although intense notes of toasted grains and roasted inexperienced greens handle to push by. The palate is one thing else, laden with creosote, numerous moist earth, mushroom, and extra of that inexperienced vegetation. Decidedly musty and extremely funky, the end evokes the essence of rye, as if it had been put away moist within the barn for a month or two to dry out. Solely it by no means did.
No concept the place the Margaux barrel is right here. This one’s a misfire from the beginning.
90.8 proof.
