Founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife team, Dr. Robert Birnecker and Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart, KOVAL began as the first distillery to open in Chicago since the mid-1800s. Prior to starting the distillery, Sonat and Robert had established careers in government and academia,but chose to forge a new path together.
Traditionally, vodka is made from grain - rye being the most common - which is combined with water and heated. Yeast is then added to the pulp, initiating fermentation and converting sugars into alcohol. Now the distillation process can begin.
Rye-based spirits also tend to be relatively lean and dry—an asset for vodka. In comparison, corn-based vodkas can skew a bit sweeter, while potato-based vodkas can be more rounded and earthy. Where rye whiskies are known for bold spice, rye vodkas are far more subtle, whispering hints of black pepper or baking spice.It is made with 100% Rye. Crystalline water gives it an unmistakable silkiness, and continuous rectification, in the highest column still in Europe, creates one of the purest, smoothest vodkas in the world. As Rye Vodka, Sobieski is distinctive and different. No wonder why experts describe Sobieski as Real Vodka.
Vodka goes through a column distillation process. This concept arrived in the 19th century when commercial distillers needed a faster method than pot distilling, which required cleaning after every batch. Column distilling involves large columns where mash/wash is constantly injected, and the steam rises to meet it.
