Westland Garryana 5th Edition Whiskey

Westland Garryana 5th Edition is an American single malt from Westland Distillery's Outpost Range, which explores Quercus garryana, the Garry oak native to the Pacific Northwest. This edition uses a higher percentage of Garry oak casks in the blend than any previous release, and combines pale malt spirit with peated spirit, making it the simplest in construction of the series so far. It is bottled at 50% ABV.

The nose greets you with the sweet fragrance of cottonwood, followed by malted breakfast cereal and rich smoked chocolate. The palate puts classic barbecue notes front and centre, spicy and savoury and reminiscent of burnt ends, with cacao butter, charred maple wood and clove. It is a bold, characterful single malt to sip neat or to pair with hearty smoked foods such as brisket.
