William Wolf Handcrafted Original is a small-batch straight bourbon whiskey aged in traditional charred American oak barrels and bottled at 86.8 proof (43.4% ABV).
William Wolf bourbon is aged in traditional charred American oak barrels and blended in small batches; its very first bottling was only 400 cases. Produced by the Terressentia Corporation, it is an ultra-smooth, rich and well-structured straight bourbon, and the brand's motto, think like a wolf, is reflected in the howling wolf crest on its label.
Toasty vanilla and stone fruit aromas launch this well-structured bourbon, with molasses, black pepper, charred oak and walnut on the nose. The palate brings caramel, vanilla, toasted oak and soft spice, finishing smooth, balanced and gently warming.
The bold black-and-gold wolf label makes it a great gift.
