This bottling made with their 5-malt recipe was aged for a minimum of 3 years before being bottled at cask strength with no color added and was non-chill filtered.

The malty, bready, chocolateyness I associate with Westland is there and it marries with this very fruity and spicy cask that is like fall in a glass for me. It evokes warm apple pie on a crisp cool fall evening on a patio to me. An impressive showing from Westland, who continues to impress me on the American Single Malt Front.
