Westward
Westward Whiskey is a bold pioneer of American Single Malt, crafted in Portland, Oregon since 2004 - back when only three dozen distilleries existed in the entire United States. Today, they remain at the forefront of a movement that has grown to over 2,000 American distillers.
Their unique approach begins by brewing an American Pale Ale from scratch using locally malted Pacific Northwest barley and ale yeast. This beer is then twice-distilled in custom-designed low reflux pot stills before aging in new, heavily toasted, lightly charred American oak barrels. The result is a whiskey fermented like an ale and aged like a bourbon.
The culture, climate, and natural ingredients of the American Northwest impart distinctive character - rich, brazen, and full of bold flavors balancing sweetness and spice. Recognized as one of the highest-rated American single malts, Westward represents the innovative spirit of craft distilling.
