Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is a Rye hailing from America.

What is Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey?

Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey stands out with its unique 100% rye mash bill, offering a bold and spicy character that's distinctly different from many other rye whiskeys on the market. Interestingly, Koval uses a rare "heart cut" technique during distillation, where only the purest portion of the distillate is selected, resulting in a cleaner, more refined spirit - a method typically reserved for high-end fruit brandies.

Why do we love Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey?

Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey for its distinctive "heart cut" distillation process, which captures only the purest portion of the distillate for a cleaner, more refined flavor profile. This organic, single-barrel rye also stands out for its unique mash bill of 100% rye grain, including a portion of rare Midwestern heirloom rye varieties, resulting in a spicier, more complex character compared to many other rye whiskeys on the market.

How do you drink Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey?

Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its complex flavors, but it also makes an excellent base for spicy cocktails that showcase its bold character. This versatile spirit is perfect for cooler autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted meats, aged cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts that complement its peppery notes and subtle sweetness.

Nose: Fresh-cut grass and wildflowers dominate, followed by hints of vanilla and baking spices. A subtle undercurrent of green apple and pear adds brightness. Gentle oak notes round out the aroma.

Palate: Peppery spice hits first, then mellows into flavors of toasted rye bread and caramel. Mid-palate brings out vanilla bean, cinnamon, and a touch of citrus zest. The mouthfeel is oily and full-bodied.

Finish: Medium-long with lingering warmth. Dried fruit and nutmeg emerge, complemented by oak tannins and a slight mintiness. A final whisper of white pepper leaves a pleasant tingle.

Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is crafted using a unique "heart cut" distillation method, where only the purest portion of the distillate is selected for aging. This 100% organic rye whiskey is then matured in new American oak barrels, resulting in a spirit that showcases the grain's peppery spice notes while maintaining a remarkably clean and smooth character.

  • Koval Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is made from 100% organic rye grain sourced from a single Midwestern farm, creating a true "grain-to-bottle" experience that can be traced back to its exact field of origin.
  • Unlike most rye whiskeys, Koval uses only the "heart" cut of the distillate, discarding the heads and tails. This unconventional approach results in a cleaner, more refined spirit with fewer congeners.
  • The distillery employs a unique yeast strain originally used for producing saké, which contributes to Koval Rye's distinctive spicy-sweet flavor profile and subtle notes of tropical fruit.

      Coming from a rye fan

      This on the rocks is the perfect way to end the day! I love a smooth rye and this suits me perfectly. I’m not into harsh whiskeys that burn after every sip or leave me gasping for water. To each their own, I’m looking forward to making an old fashion with this!

      Waste of money

      I was looking for some highly recommended bourbons/whiskeys to drink neat and this came up on some click bait. Took my list to go shopping and this was one of the few that I could find for an affordable price. When I got home, I tried a pour and it was horrible. I let it sit for about a week to let it mellow (thinking maybe my tastebuds were off that day) and tried again, UCK! Let a month go by to try it again and still it did not improve. Found it last week buried in the back of my liquor cabinet (about a year later). I forgot why I didn't like so I tried it again. It was worse than before (really, no surprise there). Who ever made this, I have no idea what they were trying to do but it sure wasn't whiskey! I just ended up pouring the rest down the drain. Spend you money on something else, there's a lot more out there that is way cheaper and far better than this brown concoction.
