- Nose: Tootsie Roll chocolate, woodiness, smokey and cocoa.

- Finish: Finish was medium and drying but fairly complex. Spice lingers with orange peel and a fruity bitterness like a hoppy beer.
Closing Thoughts
Wolves Whiskey is a luxury whiskey brand with a price and limited availability to match. I went into this tasting with no expectations as this sample was the first time trying anything from Wolves Whiskey. I am a fan of American Single Malt and am happy to report that Wolves Whiskey has created a complex, flavorful single malt that is going to win over anyone looking to dive into the world of single malts. Wolves has uncovered a lot of flavor in their use of a malted barley as the exclusive grain for this whiskey.
