Luxury California whiskey brand Wolves is unveiling its latest limited-edition release. In collaboration with the Willett Family Estate, this new release is a blend of straight rye whiskies and marks the third installment in the collaboration and the only product to feature an age statement.
“Partnering with Willett on this release has been an honor,” says Jennifer Marks, president of Wolves, in a news release. “This rare blend reflects our shared dedication to craftsmanship and bridges two distinct whiskey traditions, combining Willett’s storied Kentucky legacy with Wolves’ modern California perspective.”
To create this blend, Willett hand-selected 10-year Kentucky rye barrels, while Wolves’ head blender Eddie Gonzalez chose 10-year old rye, aged for 7 years in Indiana and finished with 3 years in Northern California, according to the distillery. It features notes of orange, caramel and baking spices. On the palate is gingerbread, tobacco and toasted nuts, followed by vanilla, caramel and spice.
Wolves and Willett Limited-Edition 10-Year Rye Whiskey is now available online at wolveswhiskeyca.com, while supplies last. Bottled at 103 proof and priced at $355 (750ml), according to the distillery, the packaging features Willett’s signature bird and crown emblem, which first appeared in London’s Pewter’s Hall in 1684 and still graces Willett’s bottles today.
