Westward whisky – single malt
The Westward Whisky Original Single Malt is balanced and bold, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness. Its unique flavour is achieved by following Westward’s Minimalist Distilling philosophy.
Tasting Notes: Westward American Single Malt whisky awards an elegantly robust and fruity aroma, with creamy vanilla and brown sugar notes. Entry to the palate shows baking spice, lush fruit, and sweet malt. The finish begins with tobacco, dark chocolate, and leather with a lingering oak sweetness that gives way to stone fruit. It is bottled at 45% ABV in a sleek, elegant bottle.
