Westland Outpost Range Garryana 9th Edition American Single Malt Whiskey

Crafted in Seattle, Washington, Westland Garryana 9th Edition continues the distillery’s bold exploration of Pacific Northwest terroir through the rare Quercus garryana oak. This species, indigenous to the region, lends a distinct intensity and depth to the whiskey, setting it apart from conventional American single malts. The ninth edition showcases a maturation that balances tradition and innovation, resting at least five years in a mix of Garry Oak, first-fill ex-bourbon, and ex-Oloroso sherry casks.

The nose reveals a smoky sweetness of burnt marshmallow layered with mocha and almond cream, while biscuit notes add a warm, comforting undertone. On the palate, it’s a rich dance between spice and softness—clove, cinnamon stick, and peppermint tea cut through the creamy texture of bread pudding. The interplay of lighter malts and sherry-aged brightness against the bold oak brings out both elegance and edge in every sip.

Made from a Washington-grown grain bill of Pale, Munich, Extra Special, Pale Chocolate, and Brown Malts, and fermented with Belgian brewer’s yeast over 96 to 144 hours, this whiskey is as thoughtfully crafted as it is flavorful. Bottled at 46% ABV, it’s best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its complexities, offering a true taste of the Pacific Northwest in every glass.
