- Description
- Westport, a 17-year-old from a well-regarded Highland distillery, is technically a blended malt due to a minimal addition of another single malt, though retaining the character of its primary component distilled in 1997. The long maturation allows complex development of spice, honey, and subtle wood influence despite the blended classification. A limited release that captures Highland distillery character at peak maturity. Best for those unconcerned with blended versus single malt categorization and interested in aged Highland character.
