Westland Garryana 2020 Release. Image courtesy Westland Distillery.This is the fifth release of Garryana, which is partially matured in Oregon Garry Oak casks and has now been folded into Westland’s new Outpost Range of single malts. The nose has oak tannins, pine needles, and sawdust along with a touch of dried grass. The taste is tannic and spicy with black pepper and clove notes complemented by hints of pine needles and maple syrup in the background. The finish is long and woody. Excellent! (November, 2020)
