( Total review count: 2 )

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).

Tasting Notes

"The whiskey is quite aromatic with warm spices, dark chocolate mixed with caramel, toasted nuts as well as a floral/yeasty note in the background. Moving on to the taste, you get the malt flavors which are smooth and rich, but there's also a fresh ale note at the finish. Each time you go back to the nose, you find something new. It's not too sweet, it's not too spicy — it's just right. The finish has a decent length and a pleasant tangy flavor profile making you go back for another sip. This is a unique whiskey and would make a great gift for an aficionado looking for something new."
