Westland Colere is a new addition to the Westland portfolio and is part of the newly announced Outpost Range. This lineup features whiskeys which highlight a central raw ingredient in single malt production with an emphasis on terroir. Colere, which is Latin for "to cultivate," puts its focus on the barley. In this case, the brand uses Alba, a six-row winter barley, in its production. Additionally, the brand intentionally uses only used casks here. Second-fill Independent Stave Company Cooper's Reserve barrels are used for 62% of maturation and first-fill ex-bourbon barrels are used for the remainder. Bottled at 50% ABV, this is an expected annual series and is to arrive in spring 2021.

Mostly barley on the nose, pretty strong aroma. Quite thin, but pairs just fine with the flavors. Light almost honey sweetness with barely flavors as well. Light but flavorful. Medium body, surprised it doesn't burn so much given the proof. Well balanced.
Fancy new barely.. lovely nose, fruit, light menthol, liquorish, on the nose, medium light body, elegant, tropical fruit, light caramel
Nose: caramel apple, honey, citrus, plum Taste: dark fruits, chocolate and spicy on the finish
Tastes wayyy young. Moonshine like qualities.
