Coalition Whiskey, a new series of rye whiskies finished in Bordeaux barrels, has launched in seven states across the U.S. The brand, created by former Russian Standard USA CEO Leonid Yangarber, was distilled at Kentucky Artisan Distillery and enters the market with three expressions—one finished in Margaux barrels and bottled at 45.4% abv, another finished in Pauillac barrels and bottled at 46.3% abv, and one finished in Sauternes barrels bottled at 47.1% abv—all retailing for $90 a 750-ml. In addition, the brand’s unfinished rye is available at barrel strength (54.4% abv) for $130. The whiskies are rolling out now in New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, and Colorado.
"Magical things can happen when people from different cultures and ways of life come together. Often, the unique experiences and skills of each individual can combine with shared passions and curiosities to create something truly wonderful. A spirits pioneer, a veteran whiskey distiller and a world-renowned winemaker walk into a bar… and a brilliant coalition is formed. A whiskey coalition." Coalition Website
