Only 1083 bottles were produced and will be available at select retailers and at the distillery.
Westland 5th Annual Peat Week American Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The festival bottling offers first subtle iodine on the nose then wafts of banana and peach rising beneath the caramel curves of clouds, full to the brim with ash and oak.
Palate: On the palate, ash and oak rain down filling out the space between delicate milk chocolate, licorice, and the faint remains of what was savory now turned to smoke.
Finish: Long and rich.
