Westland Announces 8th Edition of Garryana American Single Malt
Westland has announced the next release in their limited edition Outpost Range: Westland Garryana American Single Malt 8th Edition, a continuation of Westland’s exploration of Quercus garryana, the rare oak indigenous to the Pacific Northwest.
Garryana Edition 8 is composed of spirit matured in Pedro Ximénez butts (45%), Virgin Quercus Garryana oak (38%), Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah red wine casks (12%), and first fill ex-Bourbon casks (5%) for a minimum of 48 months.
Bottled at 50% ABV, Garryana Edition 8 is described as having aromas of “new leather, brown sugar butter, dried rose, and plum,” with notes of “brown bread, almond croissant, and semi-sweet chocolate” on the palate.
Westland Garryana 8th Edition is limited to 7,380 bottles globally and will be available beginning this month at a suggested retail price of $149.99 for a 700 mL bottle.
