Lot One of the Malted Barley Series is Wolves Whiskey's first single malt expression. It was bottled in 2022 from 12 barrels distilled in 2015, so has a seven-year-old statement.

Distilled antique alembic brandy still from 100% Two-row malted barley fermented with California Ale yeast. The distillate was matured using a range of oaks and degrees of toasting, from light toast to Char 3, along with alternating Hungarian and American heads. This was applied across all 12 barrels that comprised the 3,996-bottle run.

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

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 03/12/2024

Appearance:

Clear, mid-golden amber.

Aroma:

Honeycomb toffee, maple syrup, zesty orange, freshly sawn old oak and lightly scorched currants.

Taste:

Huge, rich and almost chewy. Dark chocolate, ruby port fruitiness, assertive oak tannins, bready malt, and backing spices.

Aftertaste:

Toasty oak tannins and baking spices.

Overall:

You don't expect a whisky called Wolves to be a placid creature, and at 55% alc./vol., this oaky, fruity, and chocolaty Whisky is assertive in every respect. Don't be tempted to try to tame it with water; Wolves Lot No. 1 is best with its mouthfeel and strength undiluted.
