Westward – American Single Malt Pinot Noir Cask

Westward American Single Malt Pinot Noir Cask is an American single malt made in Oregon. It starts as the standard Westward single malt, then spends a further two years in Pinot Noir casks. The grape was chosen because it is the most widely grown in the north-west of the United States. Westward begins production by brewing an American ale from locally malted barley and beer yeast, fermented slowly at a low temperature, before ageing in American oak. The whisky is described as fruity and robust, with plum, apricot and nutmeg, and a full, sweet malt finish.
