Koval, a small distillery out of Chicago that’s been in the whisky biz since the 1800’s, knows how to keep things kosher — quite literally— when it comes to organic, fine-grain whiskies.

The Reference Series is the next level of sophisticated drinking. This series of malted whiskey blends sets out for a bottle-paced experiential immersion into the long life of a whiskey, with each blend being bottled (and marked as such) at different points in the aging process.
