This bottling is one in the Outpost series from Seattle's Westland Distillery which puts a focus on the barley. In fact, the name Colere is Latin for "to cultivate." For this second edition, Westland uses Talisman, a two-row winter barley, in its production. Additionally, the brand intentionally uses only used casks here so the barley can be the highlight. Both second-fill Independent Stave Company Cooper's Reserve barrels and first-fill ex-bourbon barrels are used. Only 3,000 bottles are available worldwide as of May 2022.

Barley pear aroma, or sharp apple. Rich and sweet, gentle spice underneath the fruit. Kind of a dessert whiskey for me tastes like spiced apple pie filling.
Nose- sweet, woody, barley (duh) honeycomb, graham cracker Taste: sweet peanut butter, peanut brittle, hint of dark chocolate, some cherry fruitiness
