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.
