Westward Pinot Noir Cask is an American single malt whiskey from Portland, Oregon, a tribute to the legendary Willamette Valley wine country, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).
While others look within whiskey to innovate with sherry and port cask finishes, Westward looks beyond it, honouring the American Northwest. The Pinot Noir Cask begins with Westward's Original American Single Malt, which is then matured for up to an additional two years in French oak wine casks from a handful of award-winning Willamette Valley producers.
The finish reflects the vibrance of the valley's signature grape while allowing the robust character of Westward's single malt to shine through.
A whiskey rooted in Oregon wine country, it makes a fine gift for both whiskey and wine lovers.
Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water.
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.
American single malt whiskey is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery in the United States.
Pinot Noir is the signature red grape of Oregon's Willamette Valley, prized for its bright red fruit and finesse.
Westward began as a brewing-focused distillery, fermenting its own ale from Pacific Northwest barley before distilling it.
