Westward Whiskey Unveils First 2023 Club Release
Westward Whiskey, the award-winning whiskey distillery based in Portland, Oregon, has recently unveiled its first 2023 Club Release, an exclusive single-cask whiskey filled with 23-year-old whiskey and finished in a single barrel of Sauternes.
The Distillery and their Club
Westward Whiskey was founded in 2006 by warm-weather winemaker Christian Krogstad with the goal of producing barrel-aged whiskey in the traditional American style. Over the years, the distillery has crafted a range of whiskeys that have been widely acclaimed, including its flagship Westward American Single Malt, its Westward Farm reserves, and its limited releases.
The 2023 Club is Westward Whiskey’s exclusive club for collectors and whiskey aficionados. This club has been developed in order to provide access to special single-cask releases that are limited in availability and highly sought-after.
The Sauternes Cask Release
The recently unveiled 2023 Club Release is a 23-year-old whiskey that has been finished in a single barrel of Sauternes, a dessert wine from southwestern France, which is known for its richness, complexity, and unique flavor. This single-cask release is limited in availability, and will only be available to members of the 2023 Club.
This release has been carefully crafted by Westward Whiskey’s Master Distiller, Ryan Csanky, who is known for his skill and expertise in creating exceptional whiskeys. According to Master Distiller Csanky, “The Sauternes cask is a unique release that brings together the best of the Westward style with an extraordinary hint of sweetness that can only be found in Sauternes casks.”
The Tasting Notes
The 2023 Club Release has a unique and complex flavor that is both sweet and savory. It has hints of baking spice, oak, nutmeg, and vanilla, as well as a subtle hint of honey and orange. The finish is long and smooth, with a pleasant floral note that lingers on the palate.
