What is Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey?
Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey showcases the unique terroir of the Pacific Northwest, using locally grown barley and aging in oak barrels from the region's Quercus garryana trees. Interestingly, this whiskey is made with a Belgian brewer's yeast, typically used in saison-style beers, which contributes to its distinctive fruity and spicy character.
Why do we love Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey?
Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey stands out as a pioneer in the emerging American single malt category, crafted from 100% malted barley grown in Washington State. Unlike traditional Scotch or bourbon, Westland's flagship expression showcases a distinctly Pacific Northwest character by utilizing five different roasted and kilned malts, along with Belgian brewer's yeast, to create a complex and innovative whiskey that reflects its terroir.
How do you drink Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey?
Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to unlock its complex flavors, though it also makes an excellent base for whiskey-forward cocktails. This versatile spirit is perfect for cool autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steak or rich, nutty cheeses that complement its robust character.
Nose: Prominent vanilla and caramel notes mingle with ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear. Subtle hints of toasted oak and baking spices add depth. A faint whisper of smoke lingers in the background.
Palate: Rich and creamy mouthfeel. The sweetness of honey and toffee is balanced by a nutty character reminiscent of roasted almonds. Dark chocolate and coffee notes emerge, alongside a touch of citrus zest. The oak influence is present but not overpowering.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg linger, accompanied by a gentle maltiness. The smokiness becomes more pronounced, leaving a pleasant dryness. A subtle fruity sweetness persists, reminiscent of dried apricots.
Westland Flagship American Single Malt Whiskey is crafted using a unique five-malt barley blend, including specialty roasted malts typically found in craft brewing. The whiskey is then aged in a variety of oak casks, including ex-bourbon barrels and virgin American oak, allowing for a complex flavor profile that balances traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques with innovative American approaches.
