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.

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.

Willett Rowan's Creek
Rowan's Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the slightly-younger brother of Noah's Mill Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey. Much like Noah's Mill, Rowan's Creek is made by marrying together small batches of bourbon that are maturing in charred, American oak casks. The bourbons each contain unique mash bills, which provides Rowan's Creek with a distinctly layered flavor profile. After the bourbons have matured for approximately twelve years, they are brought to just over 100 proof with water from Rowan's Creek, and bottled by hand (each bottle is adorned with a label that includes a handwritten batch number).
