Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is a 100% rye whiskey known for its unique and surprisingly fresh, light character. It features mellow, sweet notes of maple and candy corn, with a spicy finish, all derived from its unique mash bill of organic rye grain. The whiskey is aged in new, charred American oak barrels and is bottled from single barrels, resulting in a unique character for each bottle.

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.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose features intense spicy notes of cinnamon and pepper, along with hints of fresh citrus and vanilla.
Palate: On the palate, it's full-bodied, with a strong rye spice, dried fruit, caramel, and subtle sweetness.
Finish: The finish is characterized by a distinctive peppery note, oak, and vanilla, with a lingering warmth.
Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey
Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey is rumored to be made from a mash of 51% rye, 39% corn and 10% malted barley. Following distillation, the whiskey is aged for a minimum of six years in the Kentucky heat, before a small batch of barrels are married together. The whiskey has a copper-bronze color, along with an aroma of rye, malt, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper. The aroma gives way to notes of chewy caramel, vanilla, spicy rye and candied citrus on the palate, and ends with a touch of dried fruits and rye. Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey earned a score of 94.5 points from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, and a score of 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, which called it a "Best Buy." In addition, it earned the Best American Rye Whiskey Award at the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, and the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
