Podcasts about sonat birnecker hart

With this episode, I'm going to introduce you to a company that offers products with such intriguing flavors as Rose Hip, Chrysanthemum Honey, Ginger, and Cranberry .  The company is Koval Distillery, and I had a marvelous conversation with our distinguished guest, Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart, co-founder and President.  Prior to opening KOVAL Distillery, one of the largest fully independent and woman-owned craft distilleries in the US, she spent over a decade as a full professor in both the United States and Germany.  In 2008, she gave up tenure in hopes of a different quality of life; one that would afford an opportunity for her to work with her husband, give up commuting, and return to the city she loved: Chicago. I hope you enjoy this episode. After you've listened, we would love to hear your thoughts and comments, which you can post at https://www.exportstoriespodcast.com/ or on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.

Scholar and distiller Sonat Birnecker Hart of the Koval Distillery talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about her career move from academia to whiskey-making. She explains that the heart is the key to great flavor--when making whiskey, and when making the right choices in life.

Vowing to make organic spirits from scratch, Sonat Birnecker Hart and her husband, Robert Birnecker, left academic careers to establish KOVAL Distillery in Chicago in 2008. Today the distillery's products are available across the nation and in 55 export markets. As president, Birnecker Hart spearheads product development, distribution and marketing.  She recently joined Jeff Cioletti for a wide-ranging conversation, which includes her thoughts on the benefits of exporting spirits and how starting up the distillery during the subprime mortgage crisis helped KOVAL navigate the pandemic. They also go beyond KOVAL's whiskey and gin to discuss liqueurs and brandy.
