Westland Distillery Wine Cask Finish American Single Malt Batch No 1 700 ml

Westland Distillery Wine Cask Finish American Single Malt Batch No 1 comes from Westland, the Seattle distillery widely credited as a founding voice of the American single malt category, built on a house style that favors rich, malt-forward whiskey over the lighter, corn-driven flavor of most American whiskey. This release starts in ex-bourbon and new American oak, then finishes in French oak casks that previously held red wine, layering dark fruit and a touch of tannin over Westland's typically chocolatey, roasted-grain base spirit. As a numbered batch release, exact character will shift slightly from batch to batch.

How to drink Westland Wine Cask Finish Batch No. 1

Pour it neat and let it sit a few minutes before tasting, since the wine cask finish needs air to separate from Westland's own roasted-malt character. It's rich enough to work as an after-dinner pour in place of a glass of red wine.
