Drawn from a single barrel in 2021, this Westward American single malt spent time in Pinot Noir casks and was bottled at full proof, 62.5% ABV. The malt-forward Oregon spirit carries red fruit and wine-driven depth from the cask finish, with nothing held back by dilution.
Bottled at 750 ml, it shows how a Pacific Northwest single malt responds to wine wood: American malt character underneath, layered notes of Pinot Noir complexity on top. Cask strength keeps every bit of that barrel interaction on display.
