Westland Whiskey

In Seattle, far from Scotland's heather-clad hills, a young distillery insists that American single malt can stand entirely on its own. Westland deliberately refuses to copy the Scottish blueprint and instead develops its own specialty malts in partnership with local farmers. This is a whiskey that insists on tasting of the Pacific coast, not of Speyside.

About Westland Whiskey

Westland is an American distillery in Seattle, one of the pioneers of the growing category of American single malt whiskey. Rather than imitating Scottish tradition, the house deliberately focuses on local raw materials, including specialty malts developed with regional farmers, giving the whiskey a clear, terroir-driven identity. For beginners, Westland offers an exciting, different entry into single malt outside the traditional whisky-producing countries, while connoisseurs follow the distillery's role as one of the most influential voices in the new wave of American single malt.

History & background

Westland was founded in 2010 in Seattle with a deliberate ambition to create an independent American style of single malt whiskey, rather than simply copying Scotland's recipe. From the start, the founders emphasized local raw materials and partnered with regional farmers to develop specialty malts capable of reflecting the Pacific coast's distinctive climate and soil. This terroir-driven approach has since made Westland one of the most respected and influential voices in the growing category of American single malt. The distillery is today considered a pioneer that helped define what American single malt can even be.

Production & style
