Description
The Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Pinot Noir Cask 45% Vol. 0.7 l is an expressive American single malt whiskey that combines the modern whiskey culture of the USA with precision craftsmanship. Produced by the innovative Westward Whiskey Distillery, this bottling is based on malted barley and slow distillation, which gives the whiskey structure and depth. After the classic maturation in new American oak barrels, this single malt whiskey from the USA is given an additional finish in selected Pinot Noir casks, which were previously filled with high-quality red wine. This cask finish gives the whiskey a unique style and clearly sets it apart from classic bourbon or rye bottlings.
At 45% vol., this Westward Whiskey is balanced and clearly structured, with the cask maturation and the Pinot Noir finish meshing harmoniously. The combination of American oak and wine casks ensures complexity and a long-lasting, elegant overall impression. The Westward Pinot Noir Cask exemplifies the distillery’s creative approach and emphasises its ambition to establish American single malt as an independent whiskey category internationally.

This American single malt whiskey also unfolds its depth very harmoniously with grilled meat or dishes with roasted flavours. Served neat or with a few drops of water, it is versatile and ensures a long-lasting, balanced enjoyment experience.
