Westward Whiskey Announces American Single Malt Elements: High Desert to Klamath Basin
Westward Whiskey has announced its next Whiskey Club release: Westward American Single Malt Elements: High Desert to Klamath Basin.
High Desert to Klamath Basin is the inaugural release in a new series, Elements, that will explore the Oregon region’s provenance. Westward American Single Malt Elements: High Desert to Klamath Basin is entirely sourced from Oregon, including two-row spring barley developed at Oregon State University. Prized for its flavor, the varietal is called Full Pint and is grown all around Klamath. This expression also includes a select blending from barley grown and malted in Madras, the central high desert, which was finished in Garryana (Oregon white oak) casks from Oregon Barrel Works, the Pacific Northwest’s only cooperage.
Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof), Westward American Single Malt Elements: High Desert to Klamath Basin is described as having aromas of “dark floral notes, moss, confectioners’ sugar, and ripe red apple,” with notes of “salted caramel, cedar, butterscotch, and coconut cream” on the palate, concluding with “toffee, dried figs, roasted filberts, and sponge cake” on the finish.
Westward American Single Malt Elements: High Desert to Klamath Basin is priced at $99.95 for a 750 mL bottle and is now available for pre-order exclusively for Westward Whiskey Club members.
