Westland, Colere, 2nd Edition, Single Malt Whiskey, USA (50%)

Westland Distillery was founded in Seattle in 2010 by Matt Hoffman and Emerson Lamb. Since its inception, Matt has been their Master Distiller, a post he holds to this day. The team at Westland are driven by a philosophy that places barley at the heart of their whisky-making. Their vision is to produce exceptional spirits that are truly reflective of their Pacific Northwest environment, while benefiting everyone involved in the production process. Barley, they believe, is one of the central components behind this (alongside the use of oak and peat).
