Because it is a 100% rye whiskey bottled at a smooth 80 proof (40% ABV), it delivers plenty of flavor without the heavy alcohol burn or aggressive \"char\" found in higher-proof ryes. It offers a uniquely bright, fragrant opening. You will smell a mixture of fresh green apples, pear, and honey, layered over warm aromas of vanilla, nutmeg, and jasmine floral notes. It features a silky, medium-bodied mouthfeel. The initial sip reveals a \"spice cake\" sweetness, bringing forward flavors of gingerbread, maple, and chocolate sauce. Mid-sip, it evolves with notes of toasted almond, coconut, and a touch of sweet candy corn. The exit is crisp, lively, and gently drying. It leaves a lingering trail of classic rye spices—like cinnamon and black pepper—cleanly balanced by a refreshing hint of mint and herbal tea.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none; height: 70.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 80px; padding: 15px; border-bottom: 0.1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right: 0.1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; height: 70.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/3823\/8458\/files\/Rocks.png?v=1761174974\" alt=\"Icon 4\" style=\"width: 50px; height: 50px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 15px; border-bottom: 0.1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: top; height: 70.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost American ryes use the legal minimum of 51% rye and pack the rest of the bottle with corn and malted barley to smooth it out. Koval uses 100% organic rye grain. They don't use barley to kickstart the fermentation enzymes, choosing instead to let the rye speak entirely for itself. It is a rare, completely unadulterated look at what pure rye actually tastes like when it isn't masked by corn sweetness.\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"SOUTHERN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48995780133114,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/3823\/8458\/files\/KOVAL_SINGLE_BARREL_RYE_750ML_40_ABV.jpg?v=1781904741","url":"https:\/\/barkeeperla.com\/products\/koval-single-barrel-rye-750ml-40-abv","provider":"Bar Keeper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
