Wolves, the luxury whiskey brand founded by culture mavericks James Bond (Undefeated) and Jon Buscemi (Buscemi, Truff), announces that a limited allocation of Lot Two.

Wolves Lot 2 Single Malt Whiskey 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.

The result is an exceptionally balanced whiskey delicately poised between  influences of both old-world and new. Lot Two is meant to be savored slowly; allowed to open up over time spent in the glass before revealing notes of honey, caramel apple, dried fig, toasted oat, and oak with a creamy, viscous mouthfeel.

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. The process of hand-labeling alone took four weeks to complete and further illustrates the unflinching  attention to detail lavished on every bottle of Wolves Whiskey.

Wolves Lot 2 Single Malt Whiskey will be available starting Thursday, August 31.
