Aroma is beautifully sweet, complex and thick, maple syrup but with a tang of something else. Red wine sweetness is there for sure. It's a rush of flavor on the tongue, matching the aroma well. Smoky with tannin bitterness underneath the sweet wave, quite rich, tingly tail that's a little peppery. Almost perfection, just like always from Westland. Wonderful.
About this bottle
Garryana is part of Westland's Outpost Range Collection, a limited edition series highlighting the provenance of the Pacific Northwest. This eighth edition continues to put a spotlight on Quercus garryana, a type of oak indigenous to the area. But other casks were used in its production including Washington State red wine (12%), first-fill ex-bourbon (5%), and Pedro Ximenez sherry butt (45%). There were six different types of barley used for this American single malt including Washington Select pale malt, pale chocolate malt, and golden promise among others. Only 7,380 bottles were produced and availability begins November 2023.(SRP $149.99)
