Tasting Notes
"It is hard not to partake in this Seattle-produced whiskey and think that the coffee flavors aren't intentional. With the malted barley coming in at different roasting levels, you can certainly understand it. Along with coffee, there is toffee and vanilla but also pipe tobacco and leather. The palate lends just enough sweetness to make these qualities not overpowering. This is a young whiskey, but is a nice preview of the "thoughtfully made" Westland whiskeys to come. "
