US-based craft distiller Koval Distillery has unveiled a new expression of brandy, called Barreled Peach Brandy.

Barreled Peach Brandy is the first in a new line of limited edition spirits named Susan for President. It is distilled from organic peaches and aged in Koval rye barrels.

This new line is a tribute to Koval Distillery president's aunt, Susan. The design of the bottle was inspired by Susan's business card.

"Susan for President is an homage to my Aunt Susan, an artist, sculptor, connoisseur of finer things and true original."

The label is similar to another of the distillery's products, Koval Dry Gin with its gold foil, embossing, laser cutting, and die cutting.

Barreled Peach Brandy was made by master distiller and chief executive officer Robert Birnecker and has aromas of white tea, wild flower, and bergamot.

The spirit is reported to have a subtle, peppery taste as a result of the barrel-aging process. It also has a sweet tinge from the peach essence.

Koval Distillery co-founder and president Sonat Birnecker Hart said: "Susan for President is an homage to my Aunt Susan, an artist, sculptor, connoisseur of finer things and true original.

"As part of her artistic approach to life, she casually campaigned for President of the World, passing out calling cards adorned with humorous, often risqué illustrations, and slogans such as 'Up with fun in 91,' and 'I'm with you in '92.'

"The promotion of her unattainable goal had little to do with becoming president of anything; she hated bureaucracy, and enjoyed living in Carrara, Italy, the birthplace of the anarchist philosophy.

"Rather, she campaigned as a celebration of art, the joys of life, and the constant striving to be the greatest version of oneself imaginable."

Barreled Peach Brandy will be available in the US through ezras.com and is expected to launch into select national markets in the future.
