Westward Stout Cask Finish is a bold expression of American Single Malt whiskey, finished in stout beer barrels to amplify depth, richness, and texture. Building on Westward’s signature house style, crafted from 100% malted barley, fermented with ale yeast, and double pot distilled, this release undergoes additional maturation in stout-seasoned casks. The result is a whiskey layered with roasted malt, dark chocolate, and creamy complexity, seamlessly blending brewing heritage with whiskey craftsmanship.
