Founded in 2010 in Seattle, Washington, Westland Distillery is revolutionizing American single malt whiskey by adopting an artisanal approach deeply rooted in its terroir. While the world generally associates single malt with Scotland, Westland proudly asserts an American identity, shaped by the climate, grains, and wood essences of the Pacific Northwest.
Every step of production, from selecting the barley to distillation and aging, is designed to reflect the unique character of this region. Westland stands out for its commitment to transparency, innovation, and sustainability, working with local maltsters, experimenting with different yeasts, and using a variety of oak barrels.
MoreWestland offers a range of unique American single malt whiskies, combining tradition and modernity:
Part of the Outpost Range collection, the Westland Colère whisky explores the power of local unmalted grains. This second edition features wild barley from the Pacific Northwest, revealing a structured, bold, and complex whisky with deep aromas of roasted nuts, dry spices, and bitter cocoa. Colère reflects Westland's desire to challenge the norms while enhancing its terroir.
Westland does not just make whisky: it works to build a sustainable American single malt culture. It uses local barley varieties such as Full Pint and Alba, collaborates with committed farmers, and favors barrels from Northwest oaks.
The distillery also plays an active role in the preservation of forest resources and the promotion of American artisanal expertise. It advocates for a responsible, traceable, and bold vision of whisky.
Going against the grain, Westland Distillery embodies the future of single malt whisky with authenticity and character. By blending innovation, terroir, and artisanal rigor, it establishes itself as a key player on the international whisky scene.
