Detailed Description
Westland Reverie Fig. 1 is the first release in this limited edition series from the Seattle-based distillery.

For Fig. 1, three types of barley malts are included in the mash: five malt, Washington malt, and peated malt. There are six types of barrels used in the production of the whiskey including ex-bourbon and ex-Moscatel wine barrels.
