Nose is very sweet, like hard candy and mixed with baking spice. But it's also very bright and aggressive, as if it's trying to jump out of the glass before you even reach for it. Palate starts with mild floral sweetness that then burst into much more aggressive malt funk, cheese, and some earthy notes. Finish is the lingering musty cheese funk.

Westland Sherry Wood American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Washington , USA
Reviewed September 12, 2020 (edited October 24, 2020)Nose: feels a bit subdued, but there's definitely traditional fig and baked apples from the sherry cask. A bit of candy sweetness to the dark earthy aroma. At the edge of the glass more of the wood shines through. Palate: the sherry again clearly sets its prints with sweet dig and overly ripe brown apples. The sirup sweetness the follows, almost like brown sugar, accompanied with the classic Westland notes of chocolate and hazelnuts. Finish: mostles the sweetness, some wooden tannin and the dark coco and hazelnuts. -
Westland Peated American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Washington, USA
Reviewed August 25, 2020 (edited July 20, 2021)Nose: sweet baking spise and a solid foundation of roasted malt. A subtle addition of smoke near the edges - mostly briny in nature, which almost mixes to a pine tree note with the malt. Palate: more complex and explosive than the nose. Initial heavy iodine, then the baking spice shows with a sprinkling of wood spice than moves into salty brine, before settling into dark roasted malt. Finish: a plesant lingering of roast malt that begins to resemble the chocolate and roasted coco notes from the original Westland malt dram. -
Westland American Oak American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Washington , USA
Reviewed August 22, 2020 (edited October 24, 2020)Nose: dark creamy note, almost like Nutella or a chocolate of sorts. Palate: the same note shows up on the palate - definitely a nutty cream chocolate. Finish: a hint of dark fruit. -
Nose is very plesant ant not too aggressive. Initial herbal notes of green tea, then comes the wood spice with white pepper. Almost a wood polish or sanded wood, that becomes a weird deep pickled fruity note. Palate: warm sweet tea with honey, then the sharp pepper and aggressive wood spice, with a honey undertone - almost a bit nutty. Finish: the sweet tea and wood notes lingers, finishing off with light herbal honeysuckle.
-
Nose: heavy charred oak, almost like a dark wood furnish. Vanilla and caramel sweetness. Some anis and clove. Palate: initially very balanced caramel sweetness and oak spice. Then it dries out with the alcohol evaporation and leaves dried fruits and baked apple, like sherry, and sweet clove. Finish: dried abricot slight hay and cloves. A bit of wood tannin.

Nose: wrothy brine on a windy shore, the smoke leans towards herbal bandaid with a bit of a salted meat finish. Fresh cut grass. Palate: deliciously oily and viscous. Here the smoke has more emphasis on bandaid and smoked ham before the iodine, grass and green apple notes kicks in on the mid palate. Alongside subtle cereal notes and charred oak. The palate is much more interesting than the nose. Finish: rounds off with an interesting balance of salted caramel and charred oak.
