Westland Wine Cask Finish Batch No.1

Description

Discover the bold innovation of the Pacific Northwest with Westland Wine Cask Finish Single Malt Whiskey, a distinctive release from Westland’s Cask Exploration Series. This American single malt is finished in a curated mix of red wine casks—Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, and Washington Red Blend—bringing a deep, complex character to the whiskey.

Made from a unique grain bill including Washington Select Pale Malt, Munich Malt, Extra Special Malt, Brown Malt, and Pale Chocolate Malt, and fermented with Belgian brewer’s yeast over an extended period (96–144 hours), this whiskey is matured for a minimum of five years before finishing in wine barrels. The result is a luxurious spirit that artfully bridges malt richness with the nuances of fine wine.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Allspice, raspberry reduction, chocolate wafer, and dried rose.

• Palate: Layers of chocolate raspberry turnover, Earl Grey tea, and dried strawberry.

• Finish: Smooth and lingering, with a balance of fruity, floral, and malty elements.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Pair this whiskey with dark chocolate truffles, berry tarts, or aged cheeses like cheddar or blue. For savory fare, try roasted duck or lamb to highlight the whiskey’s richness and depth.
