Wanderback American Single Malt Batch No. 1
Wanderback is a hybrid independent bottler/distillery. The brand collaborates with distillers directly prior to distillation rather than post-distillation to achieve their desired result. For Batch No. 1, Seattle's Westland Distillery double pot distilled a mix of four types of malted barley: Washington Select Pale Malt, Pale Chocolate Malt, Munich Malt, and Crystal Malt. It aged in Oregon for two years in 53 gallon, high toast, low char new American oak barrels. Bottled at 90 proof.

Tasting Notes
"Wanderback's first batch of single malt whiskey is appealingly biscuity on the nose and light on the palate. The toasted, not charred, American oak keeps this recognizably a malt whiskey, with gentle vanilla notes, a pleasant woodiness, and touches of nutmeg and leather on the finish. "
