The Westland Sherry Wood American Single Malt Whiskey is a sherried expression inspired by Scotch but with a distinct American feel. Produced by the Seattle-based craft distillery, Westland, which was named Craft Producer of the Year at the Icons of Whisky 2016, this whiskey is matured in casks that previously held Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry. This aging process imparts a rich and sweet flavor profile with notes of maple syrup, raisins, cookies, and stewed yellow fruits.
Westland Distillery, located in Seattle, Washington, has been producing whiskies using local ingredients since 2010. All production steps are carried out on the distillery's grounds, utilizing five fermentation tanks with a capacity of 10,000 liters and two copper stills. The whiskey is produced using barley from the surrounding area and the purest spring water, with the nearby Pacific providing sufficient rainfall. Master Distiller Matt Hofman utilizes 100% malted barley, which is unusual for American whiskeys, to create the Westland Sherry Wood Single Malt in the traditional Scottish manner. The distilled product is then aged in carefully selected Sherry casks that have held Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Sherry for nearly 100 years.
This whiskey offers a unique and complex flavor profile, merging traditional Scottish whisky-making techniques with the innovative and high-quality approach of Westland Distillery. The result is a rich, sweet, and fruity whiskey, perfect for sipping and enjoying.
The ABV is 46%.
The bottle is 700ml.
