Expert description

Westward Stout Cask American Single Malt Whiskey is finished in casks that previously held stout beer from a local Portland brewery, bottled at 46%. Westward Whiskey was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2004 by Christian Krogstad under the name House Spirits Distillery, rooted in the city's strong craft brewing tradition. The whiskey is brewed like a pale ale, double pot-distilled, and matured in new charred American oak barrels, giving an expression that draws as much on brewing craft as on classic whiskey tradition.
