Westward American Single Malt is a bold reinterpretation of single malt whiskey, crafted with the pioneering spirit of the American Northwest. Made from 100% malted barley, fermented with ale yeast for enhanced fruit character, and double pot distilled, this whiskey is matured in new charred American oak barrels. The result is a rich, full-bodied expression that balances robust oak structure with vibrant malt sweetness and layered complexity.
