- Description
- Westland's single cask expression draws from a spirit base of five malt types—pale malt, Munich, extra special, pale chocolate, and brown—that picked up gentle but distinct smoke character from preceding peated production. The spirit matured four years in lightly-toasted, heavily-charred Cooper's Select casks before a nearly three-year French oak Jurançon finish, where sweet wine influence rounds the smoke and imparts stone fruit and floral complexity. Bottled at cask strength from cask 6205, this is a masterclass in layered maturation for those appreciating both smoke and wine-cask nuance.
