This American single malt whiskey pays tribute to Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country by using French oak wine casks from producers in the region. The whiskey starts with Westward Whiskey Original and is matured for up to two years in these casks. It is then bottled at 90 proof.
It’s rare for me to find an American whiskey I enjoy below around 95-100 proof, but this is seriously great stuff. A fantastic blend of terroir and technique, PNW character, malted chocolate, and berry-forward Pinot Noir. Bravo.
