Detailed Description
Like all bourbons, Koval Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is made mostly from corn. While most bourbon mashbills typically contain wheat or rye as secondary grains, Koval Bourbon is made from only organic corn and millet. Millet, one of the major grains of Asia and Africa, is gluten-free, and has a long history in Asian spirits. The Birneckers source their corn and millet from a farmers’ co-op in the Midwest. After the grains arrive at the distillery, Robert mashes and ferments them, before distilling them through his custom-made, copper-pot still. The still is equipped with an elongated whiskey helmet and a unique bubblecap design, which provide for greater surface area for the bourbon to develop its aromas and flavors of mango, vanilla and apricot.
