This Westward Stout Cask is a single barrel selection of American single malt whiskey from Portland, Oregon, drawn from Barrel 18 of the Topflight Series 1 and bottled at cask strength, 118.21 proof (59.11% ABV).
Westward double distils its malt wash in pot stills and matures the spirit in new American white oak. For the Stout Cask expression, the whiskey is then finished in barrels that held stout from Oregon breweries, a celebration of the region's brewing culture that layers roasted grain and chocolate over the malt. As a single barrel selection, this bottle comes from one cask alone, bottled at full strength with its barrel and bottle numbers on the label.
From this barrel, the nose shows malted chocolate, espresso and vanilla. The palate brings malt, cacao, brown sugar and a subtle oak note, and the finish turns to nuts, caramel and dark fruit.
The numbered single barrel label makes it a fine gift for American single malt collectors.
At cask strength, add water a few drops at a time.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
