Koval Distillery is a craft distillery located in Chicago, Illinois (established in 2008).[1] It is the first distillery within Chicago's city limits since Prohibition.[2] Koval's founders, Robert and Sonat Birnecker, left academic careers to found the distillery, aiming to bring the distilling traditions and techniques of Robert’s Austrian grandfather to America. Certified both organic and kosher, Koval creates whiskeys, brandies, and liqueurs in their distillery in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago's Northside. The distillery is kosher.[3] Koval (Yiddish for blacksmith) was founded by Robert and Sonat Birnecker.[3]
