Koval Organic Jasmine Liqueur (375ml)
Koval distillery (Est. 2008) represent an interesting project in micro distillation. Founders, Robert and Sonat Birnecker, gave up academic careers to bring the distilling traditions of Robert's Austrian grandfather to America. Five organically grown grains (Rye, Oat, Wheat, Millet, and Spelt) are harvested locally for distillation into single grain whiskies. The company has also ventured into an eclectic range of liqueurs.
Tasting note: Pale straw gold colour. Somewhat muted at first, until very subtle scents of golden syrup emerge. Light entry leads into broad, sweet flavours of sponge cake and icing sugar, with hints of raisin and brown sugar on the finish. Somewhat cloying. Brief aftertaste. Pass. Certified Organic. 20% Alc./Vol.
