About this bottle
Coalition Kentucky Straight Rye Margaux Barriques is a sourced Kentucky rye finished by the Coalition Distilling Company, built from a blend of two-year and four-year rye stocks married in new American oak and then rested further in used French oak Margaux wine barriques. That second cask brings a red-wine sheen to a whiskey that starts out grain-forward: sweet caramel and baking spice up front, dried berry and light tannin from the wine wood underneath, and a long finish that trails off into vanilla and oak char. It is a young rye dressed up by finishing rather than age, so the spice stays bright instead of mellowing out. Good for a rye drinker who wants something a little different from the standard bottling.
How to drink Coalition Kentucky Straight Rye Margaux Barriques
Take it neat first to catch the wine-cask fruit before adding a rock, which is where this bottle settles in best. It also holds its own in a Manhattan, where the barrique note plays nicely against sweet vermouth.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Coalition Kentucky Straight Rye Margaux Barriques?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
