KOVAL Bourbon Old Fashioned
A timeless classic, the Old Fashioned strips away unnecessary complexity to highlight what matters most: quality whiskey. KOVAL Bourbon -- distilled from 51% corn and 49% millet, a regenerative grain -- brings notes of mango chutney and vanilla to the glass, with a peppery caramel finish that makes it an outstanding candidate for this cocktail. No masking required; just whiskey, bitters, and a touch of sweetness.

Pro Tips

- Cherry bark vanilla bitters complement KOVAL Bourbon's mango chutney and peppery caramel notes without overwhelming them.
Why KOVAL?
KOVAL Bourbon is crafted from a rare 51% corn and 49% millet grain bill -- the millet being a regenerative crop that supports soil health and yields a distinctive mango chutney, vanilla, and peppery caramel character. This profile makes it one of the most compelling craft bourbons for cocktail work: complex enough to be interesting in an Old Fashioned, balanced enough not to clash with bitters and citrus. Certified organic, Kosher, and produced grain-to-bottle at our Chicago distillery, KOVAL Bourbon brings craft and traceability that sets it apart. For those who prefer a gin-forward spirit, our 13-botanical Dry Gin and Thresh & Winnow Citrine Gin (with its distinctive Yuzu botanicals) offer equally compelling alternatives for spirit-forward cocktails.
