Westward American Single Malt

Very smooth. Not too much flavor coming through but still good.

American single malts have come a long way and this whiskey is a case in point. A big, malty ale backbone supports tropical fruits, vanilla, citrus, and honey. It’s fruity and sweet without being cloyingly so, and at 45% ABV, this whiskey still maintains a decently full mouthfeel. Westward should be proud of this flagship whiskey and we should be excited about the future of American single malts. *Note: I score from 0-5 with 0 being the worst whiskey possible, 2.5 being average, and 5 being the most sublime nectar of the gods.

Kind of tastes like a bourbon to me

Nose: green apple, watermelon, grass Palate: viscous mouthfeel, tropical fruit, mango, toffee, funky Finish: moderately long, more tropical fruit Wow. Was not expecting the tropical flavor punch. Very different but not in a bad way.
