Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask

Appearance: A deep, enticing mahogany hue, reflecting the rich infusion of stout beer casks during maturation. Nose: Inviting aromas of malt sweetness intermingle with robust notes of dark chocolate and freshly brewed coffee. Hints of vanilla and oak provide a subtle undertone, creating an aromatic journey that balances sweetness with the bold character of a stout. Palate: The first sip reveals a luxurious and velvety texture, where layers of toffee and caramel intertwine with the nuanced richness of molasses. The influence of the stout cask becomes apparent as roasted malt flavors emerge, offering a delightful contrast to the inherent sweetness of the American single malt base. Mid-Palate: Midway through, the palate experiences a symphony of flavors. Toffee and caramel persist, now accompanied by a subtle smokiness reminiscent of a well-crafted stout. The malt sweetness remains present, harmonizing with the deeper, roasted elements. Finish: The finish is a lingering celebration of complexity, with a gentle warmth that carries echoes of dark fruit and espresso. The marriage of whiskey and stout cask imparts a unique signature, leaving a lasting impression of depth and innovation.

Situated along Distillery Row in Portland Oregon, Westward Distillery was founded in 2004 by Christian Krogstad. Krogstad began his career in the alcohol industry as a brewer — shortly after graduating from the Siebel Institute of Technology (the Siebel Institute is America's oldest brewing academy), Krogstad began crafting beer at the Orchard Street Brewery in Washington. After Orchard Street, Krogstad worked at a vineyard for a number of years, before finally opening the doors to Westward Whiskey Distillery nearly ten years ago.
