Koval Rye Single Barrel #6229 110 Proof (Private Selection)

This is our first Koval Private Barrel Selection which we are excited to offer this truly unique barrel that is chock full of flavor.

Using Rye that is locally and sustainably sourced in the Midwestern US, allow us to present a fresh and light whiskey that offers mellow and somewhat sweet notes of maple and candy corn, with a classically spicy finish. Works beautifully in classic cocktails such as a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Scofflaw, where its grain-forward spiciness balances out the sweetness of other ingredients.

Barrel: #6229 

Unfiltered 100% Rye. Heart Cut. Organic. 110 Proof.

NOSE

Sweet aroma with a huge amount of cooking spices more on the side of oregano and fennel.

PALATE

Begins with a full oily mouth feel & intriguing spices in a mild cooking way. Then a slight minty-ness kicks in.

FINISH

Wint-o-green which leaves a nice long finish.

Every product we make is Certified Organic by Midwestern Organic Services Association (MOSA) and Certified Kosher through the Orthodox Union (OU).

WHAT IS “PRIVATE SELECTION”?

All products with “Private Selection” in the title are bottles exclusive to Top Shelf Wine and Spirits. Our whiskey-enthusiastic team hand-selects the specific barrel to be only sold here. Each barrel creates a unique taste, so the process of picking a single barrel is complex and distinctive each time. (Tip: if you enjoyed a bottle of our ‘private selection’, that means that you have similar tasting palate to us and would most likely enjoy all of our private selections!)

SUSTAINABILITY

KOVAL controls every step of the spirit-making process: From milling the locally grown grain to distilling, barreling, and finally bottling.

KOVAL believes that the best spirits must come from the best ingredients. We source all of our grains from organic Midwestern farms, supporting the local economy and sustainable agriculture. All enzymes and yeast used in production are also non-GMO.
