Westland, Garryana 5th Edition, Single Malt Whiskey, USA (50%)

Description

This steadfast whiskey, aged in barrels from the great Quercus Garryana tree, is not as unmoving as the great oak would imply. The lightly peated spirit matures in a combination of untouched Garryana casks and first fill ex-bourbon casks. This gives a nose of smokey hay, maple berry compote, golden chocolate and all spice. What’s promised on the nose delivers with great gusto on the palate with additional touches of ground coffee, cacao and rye bread.

About this spirit

Westland Distillery

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).

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.
