The 10th Edition of Westland’s celebrated Garryana Series marks a decade of redefining American Single Malt whiskey. This limited annual release showcases the distinct character of Quercus garryana (Garry oak), a native Pacific Northwest species rarely used in whiskey making. Aged for 10 years and bottled at 50% ABV, this edition balances robust oak intensity with an intricate medley of fruit, spice, and earth.
Crafted in Seattle, Washington, Westland Garryana Edition 10 represents the culmination of a terroir-driven vision. The oak's unique influence, married with local malt, coastal air, and creative cask selection, results in a complex whiskey that is unmistakably of its origin.
