Founded in 2008 by husband and wife team Robert Birnecker and Sonat Birnecker Hart, Koval began as the first distillery to open in Chicago since the mid-1800s. Prior to starting the distillery, Sonat and Robert had established careers in government and academia,but chose to forge a new path together. Their goal with Koval was to marry centuries of tradition from Robert's Austrian distilling heritage with state-of-the-art modern technologies - all with the aim of bringing heightened levels of consistency and creativity to the world of spirits.
In their Coffee liqueur, single origin beans from Intelligentsia Coffee lend flavors of vanilla cream, buttered scone and dry cranberries to the delightful Koval Coffee Liqueur. Hints of deeply decadent dark chocolate serve as a bedrock for the lighter notes on top. Ideal after dinner, in desserts, or added into a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Bottled at 20% abv.
