Westland, Colere, 1st Edition, Single Malt Whiskey, USA (50%)

The first edition of Westland’s Colere marks their initial foray into the world of heritage grains. It’s made with the winter barley Alba – “the variety of grain it all began with”, according to Westland. It’s sweet with a distinctively cereal granola character, alongside fresh tropical fruits and toasted almonds.
