Koval Four Grain Whiskey 47% 500mL

$102.99
$617.94 for 6 bottles
If all whiskies were this complex on the nose, not sure this book would ever get completed. Several points to focus on, each sharp as a knife. Though oat holds sway(and checking the label ...yes oats are part of the mash bill) there is a secondary intensity of light chocolate malt and fruity rye; astonishing layering of light sugars, crystallised layers of golden syrup seemingly the anchor point; bloody hell... Taste: Quiet fantastic.... both earthy and ethereal in equal measures and as the oil spreads, mainly of an oaty flavour, so does the sharper, crisper rye. Finish: a few fainty notes at last collate, but the salivating quality of the grain is re-established at the last, helped by a few peppery spices.... One of the most intriguing whiskies on the circuit... A very serious contender for micro distillery of the year.' Read more

Winemakers Note

Grains are sourced from a local organic farmer collective in the Midwest. The spirit is run through the 5000L pot still, specially designed to enhance the flavours of whiskey and brandy. Only the heart cut of the distillate is used - the heads and tails are collected separately and saved for future distillation. The new-make spirit is then aged in heavily charred new American oak from Minnesota.

Northern Territory Deliveries Due to liquor laws regarding delivery to NT, we need to make sure wine costs are at least $1.30 per standard drink. While most of our wines fit in this category, our website cannot determine whether this criteria is met. As such, we now need to place all orders over the phone. Please request a call from a Personal Wine Advisor
