Koval Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Koval is the Chicago distillery that became the first to operate in the city since Prohibition, and it works grain to bottle with USDA certified organic grains under Orthodox Union kosher supervision. Its bourbon is unlike almost any other: the mash bill is 51% organic corn and 49% organic millet, an ancient grain rarely seen in American whiskey, in place of the usual rye or wheat. Koval keeps only the heart of each distillation, discarding the heads and tails, then ages the spirit in 30-gallon new charred American oak barrels, and every bottle is single barrel, never blended, at 94 proof (47% ABV). Koval's own notes describe tart tropical fruit, subtle sweetness, pepper, and melted butter on the nose; a palate like Smarties candy, with a soft chalkiness from the millet, sweet and starchy, with mango chutney and vanilla; and a finish of dried fruit, sulphured apricot, pepper, and lingering peppery caramel warmth. The bourbon has earned Liquid Gold status in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024, Best World Whiskey at the 2022 Roma Whiskey Festival, and the 2019 Falstaff Trophy for Best Whiskey from the USA. A must-try for anyone curious about grain beyond corn, rye, and wheat.
