KOVAL Distillery crafts a line of whiskey, gin, and specialty spirits using unique organic grains and signature “heart cut” techniques with only the absolute best quality distillate. What began as Chicago's first distillery to open since the mid-1800s has grown into one of the largest fully independent and woman-owned craft distilleries in the US, frequently awarded internationally for its bright flavors and innovative design.
KOVAL believes that the best spirits must come from the best ingredients, and crafts its entire line from scratch using a grain-to-bottle approach. Every step of the process is closely monitored and managed by KOVAL — from sourcing high-quality grains harvested by trusted farmers to milling, mashing, distilling, aging, and bottling on-site.
