A Rare Collaboration
Wolves and Willett 10-Year Rye WhiskeyLOS ANGELES, July 11, 2025 – Wolves, a trailblazing California luxury whiskey brand, has partnered with Kentucky’s iconic Willett Family Estate for a highly anticipated limited-edition release. This exclusive 10-Year Rye Whiskey, the third collaboration between the two brands, is the only product in their series to feature an age statement. Combining Southern tradition with Western innovation, this straight rye whiskey blend showcases exceptional craftsmanship and flavor.
“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.”
Craftsmanship and Flavor Profile
This unique blend is a testament to the artistry of both brands. Willett hand-selected 10-year-old Kentucky rye barrels, while Wolves’ Head Blender Eddie Gonzalez chose 10-year-old rye aged for seven years in Indiana and finished for three years in Northern California. The diverse aging environments create a softer, more balanced rye, taming its natural spice.The whiskey delivers a vibrant, layered profile:
- Nose: Bright notes of orange, caramel, and baking spices.
- Palate: Warm gingerbread, tobacco, and toasted nuts.
- Finish: A long, velvety finish with lingering vanilla, caramel sweetness, and a pop of spice.
Bottled at 103 proof, this 750ml release is priced at $355 and is available exclusively online at wolveswhiskeyca.com, while supplies last.
A Nod to Heritage and Innovation
The packaging pays homage to Willett’s rich history, featuring the brand’s signature bird and crown emblem, first seen in London’s Pewter’s Hall in 1684 and still adorning Willett bottles today. This release blends Willett’s Kentucky legacy with Wolves’ modern California ethos, creating a whiskey that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
