American Oak

Westland's flagship American Single Malt Whiskey. This recipe, known as 5-malt, contains Washington select pale malt (70%), Munich malt (10%), Extra Special malt (12%), Brown malt (4%), and Pale Chocolate malt (4%). The spirit is aged predominantly in American Oak (Coopers Select, Cooper's Reserve) and occasionally 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon casks.

Sherry Wood

Sherry Wood utilizes the same 5-Malt grain bill as American Oak, but derives its name from the addition of spirit aged in Ex-Oloroso and Ex-Pedro Ximénez hogsheads and butts, as well as New American Oak barrels

Peated malt

The Peated expression is composed of the signature 5-Malt grain bill as well as up to 50% peated malt sourced from Baird's Maltings in Inverness, Scotland. This whiskey is aged in both new American oak casks and second fill casks, either ex-bourbon or second-fill Westland.

Single casks

These releases are bottled from a single barrel at cask strength. Westland Distillery releases numerous Single Cask Releases. Every year Westland Distillery releases 4 Single Cask Releases over the course of May, June, July & August called "The Summer Single Cask Series", Which are only available at the Distillery.
