Wolves Whiskey was launched in 2019 by Jon Buscemi and James Bond, with distillation by Marko Karakasevic of Charbay in Northern California. The blend combines MGP rye from Indiana with two beer-based whiskeys sourced from Bear Republic beers: one distilled from craft stout beer aged for 9 years in used French oak, and another from craft pale ale aged for 7 years.
The aroma suggests sarsaparilla and hops, while the first sips read as distinctly beer-like, drying and slightly effervescent, with a long, slightly sour finish. Adding water lends a softer, more succulent feel, still beer-like but tinged with fudge and nuts
