Single Cask Nation's Westland 2 Year Old Single Malt. Image courtesy Jewish Whisky Company. This peated single malt from Seattle’s Westland Distillery was matured for about 28 months in a first-fill Oloroso Sherry cask before it was bottled by the Jewish Whisky Company’s Single Cask Nation series. The nose has a good balance of honey and peat smoke with barbecue sauce and a hint of brown sugar. The taste is intense with peat, pepper, creosote, and hints of cedar, vanilla, and brown sugar underneath. The finish is nice and long with lingering smokiness, pepper, and brown sugar notes. It’s young, but very good! (February, 2015)
