Koval Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose: Butterscotch, Corn Pops Taste: starts warm and turns sweet, long vanilla finish.

On the nose: caramel, vanilla, and very grain heavy On the palate: Corn Pops cereal (never thought I’d use that as a tasting note), molasses, definite char, some bitter oak, and a mild spiciness. Definitely unique, with a robust mouthfeel too On the finish: Goes sweeter and the spice becomes more prominent as well Overall: Unique and interesting for sure. Not terribly complex, but solid nonetheless. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path but not radically out there, this could be a winner.

Less punchy than many bourbons I’ve tried. Lovely lactose and grain sweetness - almost like a bowl of milk and cereal

Soft nose with hints of ethanol at first but mellows out after it sits a few minutes. Floral and citrus on nose. First sip has strong oak and char with slight finish in black pepper. Good light linger and a moderate heat during finish. Add a splash of water and this really draws out the black pepper but diminished quickly. Nice offering and I would recommend to get this one.
