The Rye Project Volume One is a collaboration between California-based Wolves Whiskey and Kentucky's Willett Distillery. This blend of straight rye whiskeys begins with a low-rye content (51%) rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, aged 6 years in new American oak barrels. Then it's blended in Sonoma, California with 6 & 7 year-old high rye (74%) rye whiskey from Willett where it ages further. Bottled at 103 proof, Volume One Batch One is available November/December 2021.

Nose: raisins, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, wet oak, very soft rye, dry wood box Body: full Palate: peppery, very tame chocolatey rye and mild oak Finish: medium to long Note: an ounce from don to taste as part of the 1010 whiskey tasting 2/2022. It’s one of the best ryes I’ve had. Smooth and delicious.
Incredibly complex mix of flavors. Heavy on the mint but also lots of citrus and rye. Hints of dill, anise, raisin, oak and baking spices. Really interesting and smooth.
Nose light pickle and herbal baking spice Taste: a little dry wood sweet baking spice and rye. Rich, well balanced has a little funky rye finish
Nose: cereal, baking spices Palate: almonds, baking spices, lemon, oak, tobacco Finish: long and smooth Stellar
Cinnamon Bun on nose, spearmint and marshmallow on palette w stone fruit on the back. Smooth finish
