Westland Winter 2016 American Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Gentle peat smoke, fresh stewed apples, and toasted nuts give this whisky the impression of eating a caramel apple by an autumn bonfire.

Palate: More sweet green apples on the palate followed by sugar cookies and that deliciously balanced soft peat. There’s a touch of dead foliage that makes you feel like you’re camping in the Pacific Northwest.

Finish: The texture is mouth-coating but light, and the finish is pleasant, with more of that green apple and the barest hint of oak lingering.
