Westland 7 Year Old Single Cask - Cask 6205 (Master of Malt Exclusive) 3cl Whiskey

The base for this special single cask whisky consists of five different types of malt: Washington select pale malt, Munich malt, extra special malt, pale chocolate malt, and brown malt in varying proportions. But this particular batch of five malt spirit was run just after the distillery had made a batch of peated spirit so it has picked up a gentle but pronounced waft of smoke.

It then spent around four years in Cooper’s Select casks (new American oak with a light toast and heavy char) before a nearly three year finishing period in French oak Jurançon casks. Jurançon is a sweet wine from South West France which is famous for its high acidity marmalade tang. Here it works brilliantly with the sweet, toasty Westland flavour profile. This release is the product of one particular cask which was bottled at 53%. Only 194 bottles are available.
