Koval Single Barrel Bourbon
Koval Single Barrel Bourbon is a unique organic bourbon from Chicago's first distillery since the mid-1800s, distinguished by its unusual mash bill of 51% corn and 49% millet. This non-traditional grain combination, along with maturation in new, charred American oak barrels, contributes to its smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful profile. The whiskey offers a harmonious blend of sweet vanilla and caramel notes, complemented by hints of oak spice and fruit. It's bottled at 47% ABV and is known for its single barrel, small-batch, and unfiltered nature.

Independently Owned
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Sweet vanilla, toasted nuts, and a touch of char smoke are common. Some also note the presence of tropical fruit and a hint of ethanol.
Palate: The taste often includes mango chutney, vanilla, apricot custard, and caramel. The millet contributes a soft, whisper of vanilla and a unique chalkiness.
Finish: A peppery caramel finish is typical, with a lingering warmth and complexity. Some find a wisp of clove-spiked tobacco on the finish.

Knob Creek Smoked Maple
Knob Creek Smoked Maple is a flavored bourbon that blends Knob Creek's original Kentucky Straight Bourbon with natural maple flavors, resulting in a unique, smoky sweetness. It has a full-bodied taste with inviting maple notes that are lifted by smoke and complemented by rich vanilla and caramel. The aroma features smoked hickory and maple wood, with hints of earthy grains. It's known for its smooth, slightly sweet finish, and while it's high-proof (90 proof), it's sweeter than some might expect, making it a good choice for those new to bourbon or who enjoy sweeter spirits, especially in cocktails.
