Wolf Spirit Distillery Introduces Puncher’s Chance Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Eugene, OR – Wolf Spirit Distillery is proud to introduce Puncher’s Chance, pure Kentucky Straight Bourbon inspired by two great American traditions: whiskey, and fighting for what we believe in. A marriage of 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old Kentucky Straight bourbons, it leads with caramel, spicy, slightly sweet, and creamy vanilla notes. The palate shows complex oaky sweetness alongside orange, dark chocolate, leather, and baking spices. The finish is long with sweet maple and sugar notes.

Famed sports and entertainment announcer Bruce Buffer, also known as the “Voice of Mixed Martial Arts,” explains: “A puncher’s chance means that anyone has the potential to succeed, whatever the odds, if he or she works for it. Being the underdog is often the greatest strength. Puncher’s Chance is the bourbon for everyone who believes and lives that credo.”

With suggested retail pricing of $34.99/750mL and packed 6 to a case, 90-proof Puncher’s Chance™ will be distributed or brokered by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits in several states, and present in other states with Atlantic Beverage (MA/RI), Badger (WI), and Empire Distributors, Inc. (GA/TN). Initial shipments went to FL, TX, CA, KY, WI, MA, RI, MN, IN, and MI, with a second round to follow mid-September. One early customer is Liquor Barn, which will stock Puncher’s Chance in all of its stores, as well as debut an exclusive single barrel, cask-strength expression Puncher’s Chance™ the week of September 14th.

Interviews, tasting samples, and hi-res artwork available upon request. Please drink responsibly.

About Wolf Spirit Distillery & Its Brands

Wolf Spirit Distillery:  Wolf Spirit Distillery was founded in 2017 by a 17-year veteran of Campari, Umberto Luchini, who – in his late 40s, with his own savings at stake – walked away from his CMO position, hell-bent on upending the system to follow his dream as well as his personal mission to live courageously, honestly, and with great purpose. An initial $1.5M investment converted a laundromat into the distillery; in its first full year, the distillery sold 5K 9L cases across 23 states.
