KOVAL Releases First-Ever Run of Limited Edition Barrel-Aged Coffee

CHICAGO, IL – KOVAL is excited to announce the release of a first-ever run of Limited Edition Barrel-Aged Coffee, crafted in collaboration with Hansa Coffee Roasters and Asali Hills Estate.

This specialty roast begins with high-quality, single-origin green coffee beans from Kenya’s Asali Hills, aged for seven months in KOVAL’s signature organic. whiskey barrels. One batch was done in Rye barrels and the other in Bourbon barrels to fully explore the different nuances of flavor imparted to the beans. The result is a complex, aromatic coffee brimming with rich notes of baker’s chocolate, mulberry, dark cherry, and a subtle whisper of KOVAL’s grain-to-glass whiskey in the background.

This barrel-aged coffee is an homage to the creativity and craftsmanship shared by a collective of Chicago-area makers dedicated to pushing flavor forward. By bringing the art of distilling and roasting into conversation, KOVAL and Hansa invite coffee and whiskey lovers alike to savor something truly unique.

Statement from KOVAL President and Founder, Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart:

“We’ve always believed that good whiskey starts with exceptional grain—and the same can be said for great coffee. This collaboration with Hansa and Asali Hills captures the best of both worlds: bold flavor, elegant complexity, and a sense of place rooted in Midwestern craft.”

This limited batch of KOVAL Barrel-Aged Coffee is available for purchase online as well at Hansa 755 N Milwaukee Ave Libertyville IL. Don’t miss the opportunity to taste this rare release before it’s gone.
