Wolves 11 Year Malted Barley Lot 2 Whiskey California USA

Distiller Notes

"A bowl of ripe red fruit greets the nose, accented by raspberry Linzer cookie, cherries, prunes, plums, and a sugary whiff of glazed doughnut. With water, even more red fruits join the fray. There are chocolate and cherries on the red berry-forward palate, which is bursting with cinnamon spice. There’s also a bready mustiness that’s warming and pleasant. Water is your ally here, bringing softer, sweeter notes that balance out the bite of spice."

"Lot Two, an 11-year-old American Single Malt, was distilled and barreled in 2012 by 13th generation distiller Marko Karakasevic using imported Irish malts with a California Ale and bottled at a robust, though deceptively approachable 110-proof (55% ABV).

During the distillation process, Karakasevic lived an almost hermetic existence deep in the Yokayo Valley of Mendocino County, California, sequestering himself 10 days at a time alongside his imported Alembic pot still in the fanatical pursuit of perfection.

Fast becoming a signature of Wolves American Single Malt whiskeys, each bottle of Lot Two is wrapped by hand in a supple, bespoke Italian sheepskin label dyed a rich, matte black, a finish that is incredibly hard to achieve due to the texture of the hide. The skins are painstakingly individually die-cut into label form, before being printed with UV light, hand-numbered, embossed, and laid one-by-one on the custom-made French-cut glass that required four months just to achieve the perfect color."
