Episode Synopsis

Advent Day 12 - Westward Whiskey Single Malt Stout Cask Finish A unique and complex 5-part blend of grain, pot-still, and malt Irish Whiskey.Founded in 2004 when there were only three dozen distillers in the USA, Westward is going stronger than ever today when there are more than 2000 in the country. Guess they are doing something right, right? In a completely new way of thinking about Whiskey, Westward has put this holy Spirit on a pedestal, proclaiming no tradition or whiskey-making process to be too holy to be reconsidered - if that means the Whiskey might be better for it. So they make things a bit differently. Building their flavor from scratch, by brewing pale ale from local Northwest malted barley and intensifying it by double distillation in custom low-reflux pot stills, they transform the fresh pale ale into a robust, bold, and exquisitely balanced Whiskey. When the Westward Distillery brews its pale ale, they don’t only produce a starting vase for its Whiskey, but also some nice ale-infused barrels. Those barrels are then sent to their brewing collaborators from Oregon, famous for their brewing culture, to be filled with deep, rich stout, pushing the boundaries of flavor these casks are able to produce. Once filled with stout flavor, they are returned to Westward, where, you guessed it, they are filled with some neat Westward Single Malt. Maturing in ex-ale, ex-stout casks for one year, this spectacular award-winning Single Malt takes on notes of caramel, chocolate, and toffee. Bottled at an ABV of 46%, this Single Malt is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.A whisky that bridges tradition and innovation—perfect for those who appreciate complexity in every sip.Happy holidays from Savor the Burn!
