History
The heart of Milestone is our twenty-one-barrel Solera, a living collection of some of Westward’s oldest and most precious whiskeys, continuously evolving as whiskey is drawn for each annual release and exceptional new casks are introduced in its place.
This year’s Milestone release is the fourth edition created by renowned blending expert Miles Munroe. Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4 draws inspiration from the traditions and flavors of Cognac and Armagnac - brandies that, like our single malt, are made from the harvest of a specific season, distilled in a defined region, and incapable of existing anywhere else.
The majority of this year’s Milestone whiskey underwent secondary maturation in prized Hungarian oak casks - bridging spice and sweetness - and large French oak Armagnac casks
- lending a rich, earthy complexity that comes from single- distillation and the use of Baco blanc grapes for this brandy.
Together, these barrels were selected to bring their distinct characteristics into Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4.
AROMA
Manuka honey, gardenia, coconut, citrus oil, earthy cedar & vetiver
PALATE
Dark brown sugar, split oak & birch, warming spice, savory vanilla, apricot, fig, leather
FINISH
Lemon & lime rind, bright cherry, tobacco, walnut, bergamot, espresso affogato
PACKAGING
Each custom bottle is individually numbered and sealed with a premium closure, sculpted with our iconic blackbird.
