Westward Vintage Muscat Cask American Single Malt Whiskey
A limited-edition American single malt matured in casks that previously held Stanton & Killeen’s award-winning Rutherglen Classic Muscat, with an average age of 12 years and older stocks. This rare cask finish unites Westward’s bold, full-bodied style with the rich, complex character of one of Australia’s most celebrated fortified wines. Bottled at 50% ABV, it delivers intensity, depth, and a distinctive fruit-forward sweetness.
Westward Distillery
Westward Whiskey, based in Portland, Oregon, is a pioneer of American single malt production.
