Westland Single Malt at K&L California – Whisky News
April 3rd, 2015
- Westland Peated Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($69.99) By distilling a highly-peated single malt whisky and marrying that with an entirely unpeated single malt whisky, Seattle’s Westland Distillery has created something magically delicious, more akin to Talisker or Springbank, rather than Ardbeg or Lagavulin. The smoke and phenolic elements are definitely present, but never detract from the soft, oily fruit and the inherent creaminess of the spirit, which are definitely the stars of the show. Imagine everything you love about Longrow or Bunnahabhain, but in a different package distilled in the Pacific Northwest and that’s the Westland Peated in a nutshell. A major accomplishment for North American distilling.
- Westland Sherry Wood Single Malt Whisky 750ml ($69.99) Seattle’s single malt sensation Westland Distillery is back with a new expression aged in sherry that mimics some of the finest and most beloved Speyside malts from Scotland’s Highland region. In the style of Macallan or Glenfarclas, the supple, soft, fudgy, cocoa flavors are more pronounced from the sherry maturation and the richness of the palate is enhanced beyond what we’ve seen in the standard Westland expression. It’s a more decadent version of what we already love about America’s top single malt distillery and an exciting glimpse into what’s promising to be a very bright future.
