Koval Barreled Gin

An elegant, certified as both organic & kosher, Barrel aged dry Gin by Koval Distillery in Chicago, Illinois. It is crafted with the same prized recipe as the Dry Gin, matured in Koval's ex-Whisky casks before being bottled at 94 proof. It has an aromatic birth with notes of berries, wood, flowers, herbs & spices; while a slightly creamy life adds notes of caramel, honeyed thyme, coriander & rose; that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of charred oak, vanilla & nutmeg.

Nice and tasty. Pretty decent overall

This is good but St George and Ransom do a better job at the gin-whiskey, gwhiskey, game.

Fruity, laced with botanicals. Barrel adds a sweetness that makes it almost a cocktail already.

Clean, crisp, pine and juniper taste. The aging leaves it with an amazing sweet floral taste. Love this!

Smell hits you with the botanicals and tells you it’s a gin with a bit of burn. You taste and it reveals its true form, there’s a good amount of orange bitters in here along with the spice from the aging. I found its evolution length a bit short, but the highlights here go to its surprise/unexpected taste.
