WESTWARD WHISKEY SOURDOUGH CASK
Single Malt Whiskey / 45% ABV ABV / 700ml
In Westward's perpetual search for ways to revolutionize whiskey, they often seek inspiration from friends and fellow craft-makers. Westward reached out to James Beard Award-winning baker Ken Forkish and introduced their French sourdough levain instead of their typical pale ale yeast.
While remaining faithful to the trademark Westward style in all other respects, a two-week fermenting process yielded a host of new flavours. This creative release is a thoughtful mingling of four different vintages from across the years which builds on the success of their initial batch.
AROMA: Rye spice, vanilla wafer, peppermint, heather honey
PALATE: Creamy butterscotch, minty spice, earthy, herbaceous
FINISH: Stone fruit, chocolate, vanilla bean
