Garryana marks the first release in Westland's Native Oak Series, with others to follow in 2017. Master Distiller Matt Hofmann has created these expressions to showcase Pacific Northwest terroir. The rare Quercus garryana (Garry oak) is native only to that part of the world, and new casks of it were used in the maturation process of part of the whiskey.

Tasting Notes

"Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks would approve of this whiskey. It is best described as fruit pie with a side of coffee, over the lingering scent of ham. It is uniquely fruity, showcasing flavors of ripe raspberry, cherry, golden apples, banana and tart, dried apricot. Then the spices kick in - cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg, ginger and even some more exotic cumin, coriander and Earl Grey tea. Finally, it's tied together with earthy coffee and even a slight peatiness mixed with brine and smoked meat. It's interesting to taste, but also highly sippable. "
