Wolves Rye & Hop Signature Blend Flavored Whiskey 750ml

Wolves Rye & Hop Signature Blend bridges West Coast craft brewing and traditional American grain distillation in a single 103-proof bottle, delivering genuine hop character through actual beer distillation rather than artificial additives.

Bottled in Sonoma County by Wolves Whiskey, this 750 ml expression combines aged rye with spirits pulled directly from finished craft stout and California pale ale. The mixture travels through a vintage 1983 Cognac-brandy pot still, where extended cuts capture concentrated malt and botanical compounds. This deliberate slow-run technique strips harsh alcohol edges while preserving the distinct bitterness of California hops, resulting in a transparent mash bill that aligns with U.S. TTB standards for naturally brewed infusions.

Aromatic notes of honeysuckle, tangerine zest, and bright citrus open into a structured palate layered with toasted grain, cocoa nibs, and clean botanical resins. Charred oak anchors the experience before a dry, warming finish releases gradual traces of black pepper and clove. That elevated proof supplies substantial backbone, making it equally reliable for building aggressive, hop-forward whiskey cocktails or sipping neat over a single large ice cube.

Built on precise fermentation scheduling, this beer-distilled blend demonstrates how careful distillation runs can harmonize grain and barley without masking either component. For drinkers who prioritize ingredient transparency over synthetic shortcuts, this release provides a measurable standard for evaluating authentic hop-infused whiskey.
