Of all the Peat Week releases I’ve been able to try, the 7th Annual Peat Week was one of my favorites. The idea of a twin release was enticing, offering a dual experience, or one of two options you could choose based on your own taste preferences. Ex-bourbon Cask doesn’t have the varied richness of the Ex-Rum Cask, but dispite the high proof (122.8!), seems more controlled and deliberate in its execution. The tones are more traditional, rooted in wood, vanilla, and baking spices. It’s genuinely incredible that one can get so much detail from this dram while the heat continues to rise through your chest and throat. It’s an absolute tragedy more people outside of WA never had the chance to try these releases. Westland never disappoints. Finished: 08/26/2022
