Coalition Sauternes Barrique Finished Kentucky, 47.1%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Part of a series of ryes finished in wine barriques from regions of Bordeaux. On this one, the nose offers vanilla frosting and a hint of bitter chocolate. Spice and sweetness meet happily on the palate, bringing chocolate-covered raspberries, brown sugar, baking spice, and lemon meringue pie. Water unlocks more spice, along with cocoa powder and dark chocolate. A creamy finish offers dried berries, bitter chocolate, and vanilla cream.
