Lot One of the Malted Barley Series is Wolves’ first Single Malt expression. These 12 barrels were distilled in 2015 in an antique alembic 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 and bottled at 110 proof for this expression.
Taste: Rich fruits first (banana and poached pear), more malt, tart apple, some lemon, grape Laffy Taffy, wine sweetness, clove, light oak, whipped cream. The richness settles down with water, allowing some of the candy sweetness and creamier notes to shine.
Finish: Candied orange peel, chocolate malt, more banana, caramel, yeast, toasted oak, more sourdough, slightly bitter coffee, bubblegum. With water, less bready and more coffee and some chocolate notes.
