Country: USA

Region: California

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Wolves Whiskey

ABV: 55%

Score: 90 Points

The Wolves Whiskey brand created by design mavericks James Bond and Jon Buscemi acquired a tranche of barrels from California’s Charbay Distillery, including the 11 barrels from 2015 used in this initial single malt release. The nose is malty with soft spices, dried fruits, and a hint of straw. The taste is thick and oily with a good spiciness and touches of honey, dark chocolate, and oak. The finish has nice lingering spices, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak.
