Westward Single Barrel #597 6 Years 2016/

The Westward Single Barrel was bottled exclusively for the company Kirsch Import and the German market. For the whiskey, which is made from 100% two-row regional barley, new American oak barrels with a distillation degree of 2 were charred for the 6 years of maturation. Afterwards, the Single Malt was bottled at drinking strength with 46.7%. The Westward distillery is located in the main barley growing region of Portland, Oregon. So it stands to reason that they also use local barley malt to produce whiskey. Westward is one of the few US Single Malts that is produced according to strict criteria that are very similar to those for Scotch.
