RAVENSWOOD — Koval has announced its first new release of the year — just in time for whiskey lovers on Valentine's Day.
The limited release whiskey is a collaboration with Mikkeller, which is billed as "the internationally acclaimed 'nomad' micro-brewery founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, known for producing cutting-edge brews around the world."
It's the first of three collaborations the company plans to release this year, according to the Koval website.
Mikkeller's highly touted "Beer Geek Breakfast," an oatmeal stout made with French press coffee, caught the taste buds of those at Koval, which inspired the collaboration.
“It was reminiscent of our Oat whiskey, and we thought the addition of chocolate malt would both reflect their beer mash bill and add new depth to one of our most unique whiskeys,” said Robert Birnecker, CEO of Koval.
The whiskey will be available at select locations around Chicago and a limited amount will be available at the Koval Store, at 5121 N. Ravenswood Ave., on Friday.
