Koval Dry Gin (50cl)

A dry gin from Chicago, made by Koval, the first craft distillery built there during Prohibition and producing gin since 2008. The founders, Robert and Sonat Birnecker, left academic careers to continue Robert's grandfather's distilling tradition and create a sustainable family business. Koval makes small quantities of spirits from 100% certified organic grain, with all production steps carried out in the Midwest from grain treatment to bottling. On the nose it shows floral touches, aromatic herbs and spicier sensations. On the palate it is full-bodied, warm, dry and very soft, matching the olfactory notes. It suits mixing and solo tasting, ideally in a balloon glass.
