Wolves Malted Barley Series Lot One Single Malt Whiskey

Description

Wolves Malted Barley Series Lot One Single Malt Whiskey

Pre-arrival. Ships April 5

Typically distilled from bottle-ready beer, Wolves Whiskey is always distinctive. Lot One from its new Malted Barley Series is no exception. Made using a more traditional mashbill of two-row pale malted barley and fermented with California Ale yeast, it was distilled in 2015 using a pot still, with Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic sleeping in four-hour shifts so he could make each cut himself. Aged in American oak charred to six different levels, the resulting liquid boasts a diverse, complex flavor profile including maple syrup, candied orange, currant, vanilla, and honey. Only 12 barrels were ever produced.

The Malted Barley Series are lot releases from Wolves of Single Malt and Malted Barley whiskeys that were put down in small lots beginning in 2011

The 12 barrels in Lot One were distilled in 2015, and aged in American oak provided by Demptos of Napa – a cooperage relied on exclusively by cult winemakers. This oak costs more than a new, full barrel of whiskey at other distilleries.
