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

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
