A whiskey that brings together so many things Portland is famous for – craft beer brewing, pinot noir, and spirit distillation - Westward Whiskey Pinot Noir Single Barrel Cask Strength is made from scratch at their Portland distillery using Pacific Northwest two-row barley, brewed with American pale ale yeast for outstanding flavour, then double pot distilled for exceptional character, and matured in #2 char, kiln-dried 53-gallon virgin American oak barrels. It’s then finished for 19 months in French Oak Pinot Noir barrels from Dominio IV Wines. Each barrel’s been bottled without colouring or chill filtration at 62.5% ABV, and is packed with layers of candied orange, chocolate, toffee and leather on the nose before rolling into caramel, marzipan, and hazelnut on the palate, and finishing decadently with plums, raisins, sweet dried fig and nuts.
