This barrel is called "Mr. Show Business" and is a tribute to the Jewish legend, Sammy Davis, Jr. One really interesting fact about this barrel is that it spent all 7 years of its life in the city of Chicago, whereas 98% of Koval barrels are actually stored and aged in a rickhouse outside of the city. Here are the details:
