Wanderback American Single Malt Batch No. 3
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. 3, 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 five years in 53 gallon, low char new American oak barrels and ex-bourbon barrels. It finished maturation for six weeks in French oak ex-port barrels. Bottled at 90 proof. .

Tasting Notes
"Wanderback's third batch is nicely mellowed and more mature than its predecessors. With a little candied orange peel on the nose, the palate brings in almond, vanilla, and nutmeg. Neither the bourbon or port barrels overpower the malt, providing soft accents to a very sippable whiskey."
