Westland "K&L Exclusive" Single Fino Sherry Butt #300 Cask Strength Single Malt Whiskey

In what will undoubtedly be one of our most-celebrated selections of the year, K&L is proud to present our first collaboration (and hopefully not the last) with renowned Seattle distiller Westland: a single fino sherry cask that represents one of the most delicious and rarest expressions made by the single malt producer to date. Fino sherry has a much more oxidative flavor than the much sweeter, and oft-used Oloroso sherry. Whisky matured in ex-fino butts tends to showcase flavors of dried fruit, almond skin, and marzipan with subtle nuances of caramel not normally seen in typical malt releases. Our barrel of Westland is no different. It's brimming with dried stonefruit, a healthy dose of salted caramel, and a big bold finish of creamy maple glaze. It's not for the faint of heart at 121.6 proof, but a bit of water can help temper the storm and stretch out all that fine fino flavor. If you weren't already convinced that Westland distillery was the next big thing for single malt whisky, this is the release that should make everything abundantly clear. This is shockingly good whisky, and it's only available at K&L.
