Westland Announces Colere 2nd Edition
Westland has announced the next release in their limited edition Outpost Range: Westland Colere 2nd Edition.
Colere, from the Latin verb meaning “to cultivate,” represents Westland’s vision to explore new varieties of barley bred outside the commodity system. Colere 2nd Edition is made with Talisman, a 2-row winter barley variety that is descended from Marris Otter, and matured exclusively in used casks – 42% 2nd Fill ISC Cooper’s Reserve and 58% 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon – to relegate the oak influence to a supporting role and focus the attention on the grain itself.
Colere 2nd Edition is bottled at 50% ABV and is described as having aromas of “dried lemon peel, vanilla frosting, and fresh raspberry,” with notes of “light brown sugar, dark chocolate orange, and mixed berry filling” on the palate.
Westland Colere 2nd Edition is limited to 3,000 bottles globally and carries a suggested retail price of $149.99 for a 700 mL bottle.
