Westland Distillery has become one of the defining names in American single malt whiskey, and this flagship expression shows exactly why. Distilled in Seattle from a blend of five different malted barleys and matured in new American oak and first-fill ex-bourbon casks, it's built to showcase the Pacific Northwest's distinct malting and maturation traditions.
Vanilla bean and toffee lead on the nose, setting up a silky, medium-bodied palate with more of that sweet vanilla richness. The finish is long and warm, leaving a lingering, comforting sweetness that reflects the careful balance of Westland's malt bill.
Founded in 2010, Westland was one of the earliest and most influential distilleries to champion American single malt whiskey as a serious category in its own right, drawing on the Pacific Northwest's brewing heritage and maritime climate. This expression remains the clearest introduction to the house style — and to a movement that has reshaped American whiskey.
