Wolves Whiskey Single Malt The Malted Barley Series Lot 1 750ml
| Description: | Lot One of the Malted Barley Series is Wolves' first Single Malt expression. These 12 barrels were distilled in 2015 in an antique alambic brandy still, from two-row pale malted barley, and fermented with California Ale yeast. A range of oak treatments from light toast to Char 3, along with alternating Hungarian and American heads, were applied across the 12 barrels. 11 of the 12 barrels were blended together and bottled at 110 proof for this expression. This is very much a "beer drinker's whiskey." It's extremely heavy on the malt influence, yeasty, and has banana notes that remind me of unfiltered wheat beer. Under this overarching profile lies some nice subtlety including candied sweetness, some tart fruit, and just a hint of spice. I'm pretty picky when it comes to beer so the overt "beerness" of this whiskey doesn't fully jive with me but I can see how this would be a smash hit for those that love beer and whiskey equally. Hats off to Wolves for making a unique single malt with a flavor profile I've never encountered before. We need more variety out there! |
