Westland American Single Malt Whiskey

Type : Whiskey
ABV : 92
Producer : Westland Distillery
Country : United States
Size : 750ml
Description :

The American Single Malt is the newest product in the Westland portfolio, which also includes a Peated Malt Whiskey, as well as a a handful of special release and single cask expressions. Its base is a pale malt grown locally in Washington, and from there four more roasted and kilned barley malts are added to the grain bill. Once distilled, the liquid is transferred to new American oak barrels (a method usually reserved for bourbon) for a minimum of 24 months. The result is a unique, flavorful whiskey that’s unlike almost anything you’d find in Scotland.

The initial nose provides lemon and orange custard backed by freshly produced waffle cone. Shortly after, a rich creaminess emerges with creme brûlée and chocolate custard while a hint of jasmine hides just beneath the surface. The first sip confirms the creamy and rich fruit custard notes of the nose, adding an element of rainier cherries. After five minutes, melting swiss chocolate is revealed with a hint of almond. Extended tastings brings out bananas and cream with Turkish coffee.
