In collaboration with the iconic Willett Family Estate, this exclusive blend of straight rye whiskey highlights both brands’ commitment to quality, technique and flavor, while paying tribute to their respective homes of Kentucky and California. Bottled at 103 proof, this release marks the third installment in the collaboration and the only product to feature an age statement.

To create this expression, Willett hand-selected 10-year Kentucky rye barrels, while Wolves’ Head Blender Eddie Gonzalez chose 10-year old rye, aged for seven years in Indiana and finished with three years in Northern California. The diverse aging environments soften the rye’s natural spice, resulting in a richer, more balanced profile.

“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.”

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 still graces Willett’s bottles today.

Wolves and Willett Limited-Edition 10-Year Rye Whiskey is now available for $355.

Moving beyond its previous focus on limited editions, the California whiskey brand aims to capture the essence of the American Single Malt category with this new release.

The 96 proof expression is aged for five years in California wine barrels in the Arizona heat. Afterward, it’s blended from hand-selected barrels and finished in aged cognac casks.

Its packaging reflects deep Pacific hues and features topographical linework that visually represents the rugged and varied terrain of the American West. Subtle finishes evoke the natural landscape, such as layers of sediment or the rings of a tree trunk.

“We were captivated by the challenge of creating a standard-bearer in the emerging category of American Single Malt,” says Jennifer Marks, President of Wolves. “We’re proud of our innovative approach and the result, a contemporary yet timeless classic that can be enjoyed year-round.”

Wolves American Single Malt is available online and at select retailers nationwide for $89.99.
