Whiskey and Words brings people together around distilled conversation and libation. Our desire to share the stories behind each whiskey we try gave way to The Distiller Series. We set out to share the unique path that distillers around the world pave. Unique as each barrel they've seen, these are their stories.

Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart and her husband, Robert, created Koval, the first distillery in Chicago, IL since the prohibition. This is the story of what it took to get to where they are today, an award-winning whiskey brand.
