[SOLD-OUT] Koval Bourbon Whiskey 500mL

KOVAL Distillery’s organic, single barrel bourbon has the requisite mash bill of at least 51% corn, but instead of the usual rye or wheat supplement, they have included one of the main cereals of Asia and Africa. Millet is a gluten-free ancient sustenance grain, and like corn, has a history of working in the spirits industry, albeit in Nepal, where it has long been celebrated as a libation of choice.

Tucked away in a charred new American oak barrel to age, millet and corn learn to complement each other, neither taking the lead. Out of the bottle, this duet opens with notes of mango chutney, while the millet renders a soft whisper of vanilla throughout. Then harmonizing, the grains sing with the sweetness of apricot custard. This pair finishes with peppery caramel, a diminuendo into a wisp of clove-spiked tobacco lingering on the tongue.

"Koval was the first legal post-Prohibition distillery in Chicago and now produces a range of spirits and liqueurs, including this organic bourbon crafted from corn and, surprisingly, millet. The single-barrel caramel-colored bourbon offers a bit of tropical notes and some apricot on the palate alongside vanilla and spice."
