Wolves, a luxury California whiskey brand known for its innovation in the American single malt category, has announced its latest limited-edition release. In collaboration with the iconic Willett Family Estate, this exclusive blend of straight rye whiskies highlights both brands’ commitment to quality, technique and flavor, while paying tribute to their respective homes of Kentucky and California. This release marks the third installment in the collaboration and is the only product to feature an age statement.

 

"Partnering with Willett on this release has been an honor," says Jennifer Marks, president of Wolves. "This rare blend reflects our shared dedication to craftsmanship and bridges two distinct whiskey traditions, combining Willett’s storied Kentucky legacy with Wolves’ modern California perspective."

 

To create the blend, Willett hand-selected ten-year Kentucky rye barrels, while Wolves’ head blender Eddie Gonzalez chose a ten-year-old rye, aged for 7 years in Indiana and finished with 3 years in Northern California. The diverse aging environments soften the rye’s natural spice, resulting in a richer, more balanced profile.

 

Tasting notes provided by Wolves and Willett say this release has notes of gingerbread, tobacco, and toasted nuts on the palate, followed by a lingering vanilla and caramel finish.

 

Wolves and Willett Limited-Edition 10-Year Rye Whiskey is now available online while supplies last. Bottled at 103 proof and priced at $355 in 750ml bottles, this exclusive release showcases both brands' commitment to craftsmanship. The packaging nods to Willett’s long-standing heritage, featuring the signature bird and crown emblem, which first appeared in London’s Pewter's Hall in 1684 and is still displayed on Willett’s bottles today.
