Wolves The Malted Barley Series Lot Two
American Single Malt
Wolves // USA
The Malted Barley Series from Wolves Whiskey is an American single malt whiskey collection which varies the barley type, the barley source, the yeast, and the maltings for each release. All are distilled by Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic who used a small alembic pot still from Cognac to distill. Lot Two was distilled and barreled in 2012 using imported Irish malt and a California Ale.
After 11 years of maturation, it was bottled and painstakingly hand labeled in bespoke sheepskin labels dyed matte black. Only 335 6-pack cases were produced. Availability begins August 31, 2023 to select retailers and e-commerce partners.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma is beautifully layered with rich nutty notes, milk chocolate, and an ale/yeasty top note. There's a moderate sweetness found on the nose, but once you taste the whiskey the flavors lean more bittersweet. At proof, the body is average with the flavors leaning towards a herbal grain forward expression. Once again, there's a yeasty ale profile to be found, but there's also a roasted coffee flavor. The wood tannins are present and well integrated. Adding water brings out a bit more milk chocolate on the nose and a more prominent nutty taste. This second batch is another showcase to display the complexity of malted barley. "
