Our first bottling of Westland outside the United States is a rich and intense dram with a delightful oakiness.  

Cask type: 1st fill Banyuls Barrique

Colour: Irn Bru dyed koi carp 

Nose: Attention-grabbing and bold. A fresh lumber yard which is also milling aromatic spices (think cardamom) charge the senses from within the glass. If you hang around, there’s freshly ground coffee to be found as well at this strange lumber yard.  

Palate: The aromatic spice deepens with the addition of bitter chocolate and rich unctuous black forest cherries. Make no mistake, this is not a cakey sweet dram. There’s a delightful oakiness and classic Westland signature running through it to keep you from a chocolate overload.  

Finish: A rich and intense dram which has a pleasingly drying and cocoa-packed finish. You’ll be reaching for another!
