Koval Distillery Shines as a Hero

May 12, 2020

Guest: Sonat Birnecker, President Koval Distillery
Koval Distillery Founders:  Dr. Sonat Birnecker & Dr. Robert Birnecker, Master Distiller & CEOI am talking with Sonat Birnecker from my favorite distillery, Koval. These days they aren't just producing their excellent whiskeys - they've pivoted; big time. They are now in the new business of producing hand sanitizer! It turns out that helping in a crisis is not such a simple matter. Sonat describes this new focus in a most humble and thoughtful way. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation.
