Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Some gifts announce themselves before the bottle is even opened, and a rye finished in maple syrup casks is one of them. KOVAL Distillery in Illinois starts with the same mash bill of 100% organic rye grain as its classic rye, then matures this single barrel, limited-edition bottling in maple syrup casks for added sweetness and depth. The first sip brings cinnamon spice, followed by bright tart cherry and a rich, syrupy molasses note, before settling into a long, creamy finish that recalls chai tea. It suits the whiskey enthusiast who already has the standards on the shelf and enjoys comparing ryes side by side, as well as the collector drawn to distinctive barrel-aged spirits. Consider it for a milestone birthday, a promotion, or a host who loves a fall dessert table. The recipient can sip it neat or over a single ice cube to follow each layer, or stir it into a Manhattan with sweet vermouth, bitters and a cherry garnish.
