Puncher's Chance Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A solid blend of Kentucky Straight Bourbons that just might ring your bell.

Umberto Luchini was an event and marketing manager right out of school, eventually landing at Campari where over more than a decade he rose to Chief Marketing Officer. Not a bad place to learn the Spirits business. Then, in January of 2017 he launched Wolf Spirits. Initially using sourced Spirits, Wolf Spirits Distillery opened in Eugene, Oregon, shortly thereafter. Now their products are a combination of sourced and in-house produced. They currently have three brands: Blood x Sweat x Tears Vodka, Tom of Finland Vodka, and Puncher’s Chance Bourbon.

Speaking of chance… Wolf Spirits launched Puncher’s Chance Bourbon in 2020 — smack dab in the middle of the pandemic. A bold move. And they got traction quickly. In the first four months since the release they shipped sixty thousand bottles and thirty private casks. Umberto says that Mike Tyson was one of his inspirations and Wolf Spirits CEO recruited famed Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) announcer Bruce Buffler to endorse the project.

The is a blend of Kentucky Straight Bourbons of three different ages — four, five, and six years old — bottled at 45% ABV in an interesting blacked bottle with a tiger emblazoned on the side.
