Too hot. Once the flavors emerge, not very enjoyable.
About this bottle
Westland Distillery has made a commitment to demonstrating the possibilities in barley, and has now released a series of whiskeys that testify to that. Each of the expressions showcases a different type of malted barley, and the resulting flavors which ensue. The three whiskeys in the series were all matured in ex-bourbon casks from Heaven Hill for a period between 49 and 50 months, and were distilled with Belgian Brewer's yeast. Cask #2681 was made with Golden Promise barley from Thomas Fawcett & Sons. Golden Promise was prominently used in Scotland for Scottish ales in the '70s and '80s, as well as for single malt Scotch.
