Koval Rose Hip Liqueur (37.5cl, 20%)

A certified organic and kosher rose hip liqueur from Koval Distillery in Chicago, bottled at 20% ABV in a 375ml format. It uses a white whiskey base rather than neutral grain spirit, giving a drier, more complex profile built around tart rose hip fruit. The nose opens with baked apple and orange marmalade, then gingerbread crust, brown sugar, cinnamon, rose petal and a delicate white nut note. The palate is soft and silky, off-dry, with mincemeat, quince jam, cherry, dilute honey and a white whiskey bite. The finish is moderate, centred on tangy rose hip and eucalyptus honey.
