Introducing Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Cask Strength, a bold and robust expression that epitomizes the craftsmanship and innovation of Westward Distillery. Crafted with precision and passion, this whiskey is a testament to the rich heritage of American whiskey-making.

Starting with locally sourced Pacific Northwest barley, Westward's master distillers carefully mash, ferment, and distill the grains in small batches. The whiskey is then aged in new American oak barrels, where it matures to perfection, developing its distinctive flavor profile.
