About this bottle

House Spirits in Portland, Oregon has been producing quality spirits since 2004 including Aviation Gin and Krogstad Aquavit, as well as experimenting with such spirits as a shochu, a coffee liqueur, and a rum using Hawaiian Turbinado sugar. So it is no surprise that they are not taking any shortcuts with Westward, their single malt whiskey. Produced using grains from the Pacific Northwest and an ale yeast for fermentation,, it is double pot-stilled, and aged in standard sized new, lightly-charred oak barrels. Bottle and batch number appear on each bottle. Sold in 375ml sized bottles.

Wow, this is a great American single malt. This is very smooth, with subtle oak notes woven through the larger malt, vanilla and honey flavors. I really thought I was drinking an Irish whiskey until my brother-in-law showed me the bottle. Great stuff and very drinkable neat. I just wish it wasn't $50 a bottle for the 375ml. Considering it's only 2 years old, it has an amazing flavor profile but at this price point I can't justify this over Stranahan's or many other single malts out there. 5 stars for the flavor.
