Wolves Rye Whiskey and Hop is a California blend that marries aged Indiana rye whiskey with whiskeys distilled from Bear Republic beers, including a stout and a pale ale. It is bottled at 51.5% ABV.
Wolves is known for its creative blends of beer-based whiskeys and aged rye, and this release leans into the hop character of the craft beer, giving a whiskey that is herbal, floral and spicy all at once. The Daily Pour scored it 93.
The blend layers the spice of aged rye with character drawn from the stout and pale ale whiskeys, for a bold, full-strength sip.
The minimalist bottle with its white Wolves label makes a distinctive gift for whiskey and craft beer lovers alike.
Taste it neat, then with a drop of water, or use it in a hoppy Old Fashioned.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
Distilling whiskey from beer is a natural step, since all malt whiskey begins as a beer-like wash, but using finished, hopped craft beers carries their character into the spirit. American rye whiskey, made from a mash of at least 51% rye, brings peppery spice and herbal notes that pair naturally with the bitterness and aroma of hops, making this a whiskey that rewards craft beer drinkers and rye lovers alike.
