Thresh & Winnow Rye Finished in Sotol Barrels
100% Rye | 100 Proof | Single Cask | Sotol Cask Finish | USDA Organic | Limited Release
Crafted from 100% organic rye and finished in Sotol casks from Desert Door Sotol, this whiskey is a bold conversation between the American grain belt and the Chihuahuan Desert, where ancient Dasylirion plants have weathered centuries of sun and stone to yield something profoundly untamed.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Desert rain on warm earth. Roasted agave, green chile, and dry herbal warmth that recalls sagebrush after a thunderstorm.
Palate: The rye's muscular spice meets smoky mesquite and charred prickly pear, with undertones of leather, raw cacao, and a vegetal sweetness like roasted poblano.
Finish: Long and contemplative. Campfire smoke, mineral salt, and the quiet heat of desert sunset.
About Thresh & Winnow
Thresh & Winnow is KOVAL Distillery's ultra-premium sub-brand, launched in September 2024. The name refers to the agricultural process of separating grain from chaff, an apt metaphor for distilling spirits down to their purest expression. The line focuses on organic grains, high-integrity aging, and craft-level finishing, presented in a cut crystal bottle designed by Dando Projects (Best in Show, 2025 Craft Spirits Packaging Awards).
Production
Distilled from 100% organic rye grain at KOVAL's Chicago distillery, then finished in casks that previously held Desert Door Sotol. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) from a single cask.
