About this bottle

This is the first lot release for Wolves Whiskey's Malted Barley Series. Each lot was distilled by Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic who used a small alembic pot still from Cognac to distill, but each lot will vary with regards to the barley type, the barley source, the yeast, and the maltings with some peated and others not. Lot One was distilled in 2015 using two-row pale malt barley and California ale yeast. It is not peated. Eleven barrels were blended for Lot One and the barrels were all made from American oak from a Napa Valley Cooperage. However, the toast & char levels vary from a light toast to char 3 and the barrel heads alternated between Hungarian oak and American oak. Bottled at 110 proof, Lot One is available at select retailers beginning April 6, 2023 with pre-sales beginning March 30, 2023 on the Wolves' website. (SRP $289)

GoodSpiritsNews 4.5

Rich, deep, malty nose with a bright cracking woody perfume. On the palate, first impressions are of aged apples, oak fence, forest floor and venerable grain barn. A sip takes the imbiber into a peaceful and rustic country setting. As the flavor progresses, warm notes of baking spices come out, with soft toffee, cinnamon bun, toasted pecan and chicory. A smooth, even mouthfeel leads to a medium-long finish. The ending notes are dry and slightly spiced.
