TASTING NOTES – KOVAL SINGLE BARREL BOURBON

Nose

Of good intensity, with oak wood and cinnamon, to which is added a balsamic herbaceous, almost camphor-like note. Not complex but pleasant.

Palate

Hot and spicy (cloves) from the very beginning, with a marked sweetness that is a counterpoint to the initial spices. Sweetened orange juice, very ripe apricot. At times a more herbaceous character returns, as of semi-sweet licorice.

Finish

Medium duration, sweet, perhaps a bit simple and one-dimensional.

Koval Single Barrel Bourbon is overall a simple and frank bourbon; the ABV gives above all to the nose a good intensity, while on the palate, beyond the spicy initial moments, it perhaps has the flaw of being reduced to a simple sweetness and in the long run a bit monocorde.
