About Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Buy The Barrel
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Buy The Barrel is a cask-strength expression bottled at 62.5% ABV (125 proof) from a hand-selected single barrel, offering an uncut, unfettered taste of the distillery's signature style. Produced by Westward Distillery in Portland, Oregon—not Park Street Imports—this 100% malted barley whiskey starts as an artisanal ale brewed in-house with local barley, then double-distilled in custom pot stills and aged in new, charred American oak barrels. What makes it special is its bold Pacific Northwest profile: rich malt influence from the brewing process, balanced earthy-fruity-spicy notes, and intense barrel character without overpowering the spirit. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts seeking high-proof adventure, single malt purists exploring American innovations, or collectors of private barrel selections. At $75 for 750ml, it undercuts typical cask-strength prices ($100+ elsewhere), delivering exceptional value in the burgeoning American single malt category, where it stands out for its beer-inspired depth and creamy texture over many bolder, oak-dominant peers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Dark chocolate mingles with nutmeg and vanillins, evoking a bourbon-like malt sweetness without graininess, alongside brioche toasted in butter. Rich chocolate, malt, and vanilla blend seamlessly, hinting at warm bread pudding.
👅 Palate
Heat hits the front with dark chocolate, white pepper, and minty cherry fruitiness, transitioning to a creamy, custardy mouthfeel laced with cinnamon. Deep grains deliver bread pudding, vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of honey, amplifying single malt character.
✨ Finish
Heat peaks on the tongue before fading to a medium-length, slightly oily close with marine sea salt and dark chocolate notes. Malt and milk chocolate linger softly.
