Description
Established in 2008, KOVAL produces organic whiskey, liqueurs and specialty spirits in Chicago's first distillery since the mid-1800s. Founders Robert and Sonat Birnecker, chose to leave their academic careers to bring the distilling traditions of Robert?s Austrian family to America. In making this decision, they vowed to make organic spirits from scratch (avoiding the common industry practice of purchasing and bottling pre-made spirits) and to change the way people understand whiskey by creating a new, signature style - using only the ?heart? cut of the distillate - affording a brighter, cleaner take on whiskey.
On their tours, KOVAL staff will explain the differences between white and aged whiskey, the subtle intricacies of distillation, and the delicious beauty of small-batch spirits. See where each and every step of our process takes place. Tasting of numerous spirits is just one of the perks!
Item Special Note
Koval whiskey, liqueurs and specialty spiris are certified organic and Kosher.
Tours typically take place every Wednesday at 7pm, Saturday at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5pm, and Sunday at 2, 3 and 4pm - though these times are subject to change. Check out http://www.koval-distillery.com/newsite/classes-tours/tours for more details.
