Wolves x Willett 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whisky
(700ml)

About the Whisky:

Southern tradition meets Western innovation in this exclusive collaboration between Willett Family Estate and Wolves Whiskey.

To create this unique blend of straight rye whiskies, Willett hand-selected 10-year Kentucky rye barrels. Wolves chose rye barrels that were aged in Indiana for 7 years and an additional 3 years in Northern California to soften the rye spice yielding a richer profile with smooth caramel and vanilla notes. 

A true fusion of time and place, this rare, elusive offering highlights both Willett and Wolves’ commitment to exceptional quality, technique, and flavor while paying tribute to their respective homes of Kentucky and California.

The resulting spirit is layered with notes of caramel candy and fresh citrus peel for a bright, complex flavor profile.

Awards/Reviews:

"A pour that stands on unique flavor combinations. The nose is punchy, bright, and citrus-forward, rich in burnt orange peel, peppermint candy canes, pine sap, semi-sweet baking chocolate, and birch bark. Those borderline fruity and herbal aromas intersect with plentiful spice, including cinnamon, allspice, and clove chewing gum. It’s got depth and character on the nose rare for either an Indiana or Kentucky rye on their own; the blend is clearly accomplishing a lot at this juncture. The first sip is a little sweeter, slightly more subdued, and generally more indicative of an Indiana high-rye recipe than Kentucky-style. Sweet, herbal chewing gum (think wintergreen) meets candied ginger, along with Andes Creme de Menthe chocolates. Subsequent tastes bring forward more sweetness at the nexus of mint and chocolate, and flavors harmonize closer across the midpalate. Further back in the mouth, oak tannins cut through the aforementioned components and bring a welcome element of age, as if the rye waited until the last possible opportunity to remind you of its decade-plus pedigree."  - Forbes.com
