Westward American Stout Cask Single Malt Whiskey 750ml
Portland's Westward Whiskey lives by a singular philosophy: brew like a craft ale, distill like a single malt, age like a bourbon. The Stout Cask is where that ethos reaches its most delicious conclusion. Made from 100% Pacific Northwest two-row barley, double pot-distilled and aged in new American oak, the whiskey is then finished for an additional year in stout barrels sourced from Oregon craft breweries — the distillery trading its own emptied barrels to local brewers, who season them with stout and send them back. The nose opens with sweet caramel, toffee, cacao, and toasted oak, with stone fruit and a green tea-sage note underneath. The palate delivers on every promise — stout beer, cacao nibs, malt, vanilla, and cinnamon spice with a creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Heavy, but beautifully balanced — a dark and stunning whiskey that showcases what a perfectly executed beer-finished spirit should be. 45% ABV / 90 proof
