This highly-limited edition whiskey delivered in collaboration by California-based Wolves and Kentucky-rooted Willett Distillery is anchored by a very low-content (51%) rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, aged in new American oak for 6 years, then transplanted to Sonoma County for additional aging.
This initial low-rye whiskey was blended with additional Rye barrels selected from the renowned Willett Distillery. The majority of the resulting blend is Willett's 6 and 7 year Rye. Wolves Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic and Willett Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen selected 6 and 7-year-old barrels of Willett straight rye whiskey with a 74% rye mash bill. The barrels were pulled from Willett warehouse A, South Rick 14, and warehouse H, South Rick 6.
The Rye Project, Volume One delivers a straightforward and balanced expression of the best rye in the world, in a lower-rye format. The depth and complexity of this rye whiskey is unique and consistent with the elite quality produced by the Willett house.
