A bit meh. This has earthy notes that remind me of soy. The taste is very straight forward and has quite a few elements in it, but many of them are lost in the peat and are difficult to pick out. Matches the qualities of a smokey dessert wine.
About this bottle
Westland Reverie Fig. 1 is the first release in this limited edition series from the Seattle-based distillery. Each release is intended to be loose in structure instead of being blended by a predetermined flavor profile based on past releases. For Fig. 1, three types of barley malts are included in the mash: five malt, Washington malt, and peated malt. There are six types of barrels used in the production of the whiskey including ex-bourbon and ex-Moscatel wine barrels. For the actual breakdown, please see the brand's website for a handy diagram with barrel details. Aged for 49 months, Fig. 1 yielded 900 bottles. This is a distillery exclusive release available from November 3, 2018.

Still super good. It seems to hit all the right notes for me. This is a good example of music to whiskey to me. Lots of things are happening, but the are working to make a fuller whole.
I just love this distillery! A bit expensive, but worth it.
Inviting nose and very balanced palate. Ripe stone fruit.
