Lot Two of the Malted Barley Series is Wolves Whiskey's second single malt expression. It was bottled in 2023 from 10 barrels distilled in 2012, so has an eleven-year-old statement.

Each bottle was hand-wrapped in black, UV-printed sheepskin in Los Angeles.

Distilled from imported Irish malted barley fermented using California yeast in a copper alembic pot still. The distillate was matured in new American oak in a range of toast levels (Light Toast to Char 3).

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 03/12/2024

Appearance:

Clear, deep coppery golden amber.

Aroma:

Toasty oak, dark tobacco leaf, toasted wholemeal bread, raisins, vanilla, barbeque charcoal and cracked black pepper.

Taste:

Cedarwood, tobacco leaf, caramel, pencil shavings, stewed black tea tannins, blackened fruit cake and black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Long and woody with toasted oak, salty caramel, vanilla, bitter tannins, and black pepper spice.

Overall:

Toasty oak and cleansing black pepper spice. A big whisky to accompany a big cigar. It takes a splash of water well but is better neat. Or be a decadent animal of a drinker and add the merest splash of cola.
