Westland Garryana 5th Edition Whiskey

Westland Garryana 5th Edition Whiskey is a distinctive American Single Malt that continues the distillery’s exploration of native oak species, specifically *Quercus garryana*, which is found only in the Pacific Northwest. This edition stands out for incorporating a higher percentage of Garry Oak casks in the blend than any previous release, combining pale malt spirit with peated spirit for a deceptively simple yet profoundly complex profile. The use of Garry oak imparts a strong, savory character to the whiskey, balancing the ex-bourbon aging. Expect robust tasting notes: the nose opens with raisin, brown sugar, and cocoa. On the palate, a creamy texture gives way to woody and smoky notes, with a rich, savory quality and signature barbecue flavor, finishing with dark chocolate and a hint of clove. This is a bold, balanced whiskey ideal for sipping neat or pairing with hearty foods like brisket.
