Cask #0010: American Single Malt Whiskey (Pinot Noir Cask) | Westward Distillery

7 Years Old | 64.7% Alc/Vol | Bergstrom Pinot Noir French Oak Barrique | Portland, Oregon

Another Westward cask, and a very different one from #0008. This seven-year-old American Single Malt spent more than four of its years in a Bergstrom Winery Pinot Noir French oak barrique. If you know Bergstrom's wine, you know what that barrel brings: dark fruit, depth, and French oak with real character. Blackberry compote, dark chocolate, beeswax, and fig. Add a little water and a pop of grenadine comes through and lingers right alongside everything else for a long, long time. At 64.7%, it has the most power in the release. Handle accordingly.
