U.S. should pay heed to Wolves Whiskey. American footwear designers James Bond and Jon Buscemi are the brainchild behind the new label and has launched the
898 bottle First Run initial release (USD150/SGD205).
Working together with 13th generation master distiller, Marko Karakasevic, First Run is made up of three components: whiskey double distilled from a craft stout beer, whiskey double distilled from a craft pilsner beer, and a rye whiskey. The resultant tipple is slightly sweet and hoppy but backed by a tremendous body. Each bottle, made of heavy French-cut glass, is wrapped in hand-cut, embossed Italian sheepskin leather and corked with maple wood. Available in select states in the U.S.
