While most bourbon mashbills typically contain wheat or rye as secondary grains, Koval Bourbon is made from only organic corn and millet. Millet, one of the major grains of Asia and Africa, is gluten-free, and has a long history in Asian spirits. The Birneckers source their corn and millet from a farmers co-op in the Midwest. After the grains arrive at the distillery, Robert mashes and ferments them, before distilling them through his custom-made, copper-pot still. The still is equipped with an elongated whiskey helmet and a unique bubblecap design, which provide for greater surface area for the bourbon to develop its aromas and flavors of mango, vanilla and apricot.Following distillation, Robert removes the heads and tails of the distillate and matures the hearts in new, charred American oak casks that are made by a bespoke cooperage in Minnesota. The casks lend flavors of pepper, clove and caramel to the bourbon.Once the bourbon has matured for 2-4 years, each bottle is filled from an unfiltered single barrel, before being labeled by hand."When we got started, we noticed that there was a real vacuum regarding distilling knowledge in the United States," says Robert, "If the majority of product being put out is good, it helps the entire industry. If somebody tries a crappy product thats labeled craft from somebody else, theyre less likely to try our product. Its important to us that the whole industry grows with us. We dont want it to be a one-hit wonder, something that everyone rushes to and then it kind of dies down again."Koval, which is a Yiddish term meaning blacksmith, is often used colloquially to refer to the blacksheep of the family.

Giraldo Mituoka Kagana is the sone of Japanese immigrants. He started his career cutting sugarcane in Cuba during the revolutionary years. But for the last two decades, he and three generations of his family have been producing fine rums in Columbia. In Spanish, La Hechicera translates as The Enchantress. And this seems a fitting description. Although the distilled cane spirits in La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum are sourced from around the Caribbean, they are married and aged in their home country of Columbia. Importantly, they are aged in ex-Bourbon casks using the Solera method which yields superior complexity and a deeper flavor profile. It also means that the exact age is hard to quantify. But the youngest spirit is aged twelve years and some of the spirit has been aged a full twenty-one years.The creators of La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum recommend it be taken straight with a single cube of ice to keep the flavor profile clean and we dont disagree. All that hard work delivers a truly great sipping rum with huge note of roasted coffee and cocoa on the nose; deep plum, chocolate, mint, and spice notes on the palate; and a long finish of nutmeg, pepper, and bananas. Over the last five years, La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum has won more than a dozen awards, including a Double Gold at the San Fransisco World Spirits Competition, a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge, two Gold medals at the Spirits Business Awards, and many others.Get your bottle today!

Absinthe, which is a spirit traditionally derived from grand wormwood, anise and fennel, has a long and colorful history. While its origins remain unclear, the use of medicinal wormwood dates back to ancient Egypt. In the 18th and 19th centuries, absinthe was distributed by the French Army to its troops as a cure for several digestive diseases, including dysentery and tropical fever. When the troops returned home, they brought their taste for absinthe with them.Spurred by the temperance movement and winemakers, absinthe became associated with hallucinogenic effects. One critic claimed that absinthe would "make you crazy and criminal," and that it would "provoke epilepsy and tuberculosis."In 1905, Swiss farmer Jean Lanfray murdered his family after consuming considerable quantities of wine, brandy and two glasses of absinthe. While Lanfray had a history of alcoholism, Swiss teetotalers seized the moment and passed a referendum making absinthe illegal. Similarly, absinthe was prohibited in the United States for nearly a century; from 1912 until 2007, absinthe was not allowed to be consumed on American soil.La Muse Verte is crafted from a traditional absinthe recipe that was originally created in the late 19th century and refined over the course of the next hundred years. The recipe calls for a secret blend of up to eight different ingredients, including fresh, organic grand wormwood (the wormwood is used within a few months of harvest). After each plant used in crafting the absinthe is harvested, it is steeped in a beet-based spirit for up to three weeks in order to extract the flavors, oils and texture of the plant. After the plants have been macerated, the absinthe is married together without the use sugar, artificial additives or coloring, and bottled at 136 proof the historical alcohol content of absinthes crafted centuries ago (the black bottle ensures that light does not spoil the color of the absinthe).La Muse Verte has a fresh, herbal aroma with hints of grass, licorice and citrus. The aroma gives way to a fluffy, coating texture that has notes of apples, herbs and peppermint, and ends with a spicy touch. The absinthe earned a score of 97 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2013 the highest score of any absinthe and was awarded the Chairmans Trophy.Pick up a bottle of a #1 absinthe today!
