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.

Too hot. Once the flavors emerge, not very enjoyable.

Enjoyable and smooth, but not spectacular. Nice.
