A rich, deep, malty nose with a bright, cracking woody fragrance. On the palate, initial impressions are of aged apples, an oak fence, forest floor, and an old grain barn. A sip transports the drinker to a peaceful, rustic countryside. As the flavor develops, warm notes of baking spices emerge, with soft toffee, cinnamon bun, toasted pecan, and chicory. A smooth, even mouthfeel leads to a medium-long finish. The concluding notes are dry and slightly spiced.

About this bottle
Wolves The Malted Barley Series Lot One is the inaugural release in the brand's Malted Barley Series. Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic distilled each lot using a small alembic pot still from Cognac; however, the barley type, origin, yeast, and maltings, including peat levels, differ for each lot. Lot One, distilled in 2015, uses two-row pale malt barley and California ale yeast and is not peated. Eleven barrels composed of American oak from a Napa Valley Cooperage were blended for Lot One, with varying toast & char levels and alternating Hungarian and American oak barrel heads. Bottled at 110 proof, Lot One is available at select retailers from April 6, 2023, with pre-sales on the Wolves' website commencing March 30, 2023. The SRP is $289.
