What is Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask?
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask is a unique collaboration between Portland's craft whiskey and beer scenes, aging their signature single malt in barrels that previously held locally brewed stout. Interestingly, this whiskey is made from 100% malted barley that's been fermented with ale yeast, creating a spirit that bridges the gap between whiskey and beer in a way few others have achieved.
Why do we love Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask?
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask offers cocktail enthusiasts a unique twist on traditional whiskey, marrying the rich flavors of American single malt with the roasted, chocolatey notes of stout beer. This innovative spirit is crafted in Portland, Oregon, where Westward ages their whiskey in freshly emptied stout barrels from local craft breweries, creating a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that combines the best of American whiskey-making traditions with the vibrant Pacific Northwest beer scene.
How do you drink Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask?
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its complex flavors, though it also makes an excellent base for robust whiskey cocktails. This rich, full-bodied spirit is perfect for cooler autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steak, dark chocolate desserts, or strong cheeses that can stand up to its bold character.
Nose: Dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and dried fruit dominate the aroma. Hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak provide depth. A subtle hoppy note reminiscent of fresh beer lingers in the background.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Flavors of dark cocoa, espresso, and malted barley are prominent. Layers of toffee, dried cherries, and black pepper emerge. The stout influence brings a creamy texture and notes of oatmeal and dark bread.
Finish: Long and warming. Bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt linger. A pleasant oak dryness balances residual sweetness. Faint hints of hops and citrus peel add complexity as the flavors slowly fade.
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask starts as a classic American single malt whiskey, then undergoes a unique finishing process in casks that previously held stout beer. This additional maturation imparts subtle notes of roasted barley, coffee, and dark chocolate from the stout, creating a whiskey that bridges the worlds of craft beer and artisanal spirits.
