Detailed Description
First Peated began as a mash of two separate malts that was distilled in Seattle by Westland then matured in charred new American oak casks. The first malt was a heavily peated barley malt. The second was a Washington Select pale malt. Only 700 bottles of First Peated were produced. It will be available at the distillery and also allocated to bars and retailers throughout the Seattle area.
Westland Distillery First Peated American Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The initial nose on this whiskey comprises a unique spectrum of flavor notes. Pomegranate and iodine. Moss and sage. Tar and tangerine. All of these aromas fuse together to give us a profile that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Palate: The palate reveals chocolate mousse, smoldering peat, leather, warm cinnamon muffin and grapefruit. Extended time brings out aromas of damp earth, shortbread and chocolate fondue poured over cantaloupe.
Finish: The palate sees more peat bliss now accompanied by the aroma of a campfire and sea spray with Rainier cherries and chocolate covered espresso beans on the finish.
