American Single Malt
Westward Whiskey
$63
100% Malted Barley
Nose
Soft and fruit-forward with peaches, nectarines, and tangerines, along with creamy undertones and citrus notes. Surprisingly lacking the smokiness typically associated with malts.
Palate
Lush fruit with herbal spice, notes of tea and mint, caramel, and a touch of smokiness from the barrel influence. Light and elegant on the palate with stone fruit and citrus notes continuing through.
Finish
Hints of cinnamon, leather, chocolate, and wood sugars with lingering caramel and smokiness.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A classy, fruit-forward American single malt that bridges bourbon and Scotch with elegant, delicate flavors and no heavy peat or smoke.
