Koval Single Barrel Rye #295 is a 100% rye whisky bottled at 40% ABV and 500ml from Koval, Chicago's first distillery since Prohibition. Koval Distillery, established in 2008 by the Birnecker couple, is renowned for its unique distillation methods. Robert Birnecker, one of the founders, honed the art of distillation from his grandparents' award-winning winery and furthered his skills at the prestigious Bundeslehranstalt fur Wein- und Obstbau in Klosterneuburg.
This rye whisky is crafted using the classic double pot-still method, setting it apart from conventional whisky production. The distillery employs custom-made pot stills and discards the pre- and post-runs instead of re-distilling them, which is a common industry practice. The mash bill consists of 100% locally sourced, organically grown rye, emphasizing the distillery's commitment to quality and sustainability.
Koval Single Barrel Rye #295 is distinct for its fresh and light character, with a hint of maple syrup and Candy Corn aroma, finished with a kiss of spices, as described by The Wall Street Journal. Aged in new Minnesotan oak barrels, this whisky showcases the craftsmanship and dedication that Koval Distillery is known for.
The nose reveals notes of vanilla, toast, orange, and spices, with subtle floral undertones. On the palate, you'll encounter complex layers of grain, spice, cloves, honey, and vanilla.
