Produced using x-Lark whisky casks, Wolf III is another beer cask matured malt, once again using casks that were seasoned using Imperial Johnny Smoke Porter from Wolf of the Willows Brewing Co. In 2020, the single malt was sourced from Bothwell Distillery - home of Nant single malt.

Lark explain, "In Wolf 1 and Wolf 2, we were searching for a compromise of flavour. Big spirit with a bit of peat was being asked to dance with big malt, hops and smoke delivering a whisky that loved to dance at the back of the palate. For Wolf III, we wanted to upset the apple cart and aim for contrast. Big malt and smoke from the beer (dancing at the back of the palate), facing off with tropical whisky (focused on the front of the tongue) was always going to cause a reaction. The fallout was spectacular. The integration is there, but the tug of war between the spirit and beer was more than we could ever have hoped for. Luckily, the dancefloor was big enough for both elements to shine without too much noise! We are immensely proud of the result and are bold enough to say that it is our whisky team’s favourite of the III Wolf releases so far." 49% Alc./Vol.
