American Single Malt has been an "up and coming" category since I started in this business nearly 20 years ago. Part of the problem with the category is that it's extremely difficult to create value for lovers of Single Malt when Scotland is able to deliver such incredible price to quality ratio. So we have some people who do it different, just to be different, but it's not enough just to be different, you need to be different and delicious. That's why so many craft distillers have struggled, the ultimate experience does not deliver for many customers in the way that they expect for the prices that they pay. Another huge issue is the lack of aspirational products in the category. Until Milestone, there was no truly singular yearly release that demanded the attention of ALL Malt Whisky drinkers. But with the last two releases of Milestone, we finally have a product that delivers on both counts. Almost NOTHING out there tastes as delicious as Milestone does at ANY price point. And this whisky sells out ridiculously quickly and many many people reach out asking for me to magically create more. That's not possible of course, so we wait for next year. This is your only chance to snag your bottles as they will only sell us what we are allocated and won't likely get a second drop. So if you've known the previous Milestones, this is your chance to lock in another one of the great American Whiskies for one more year.

Notes

Westward’s Milestone Edition No. 4 represents the pinnacle of the celebrated Portland distillery’s American single malt program. At its heart is a 21-barrel solera containing some of Westward’s oldest and most precious whiskey. Each year, a portion is drawn for the annual Milestone release and replaced with exceptional new casks, allowing this living collection to evolve while preserving a direct connection to earlier editions. This fourth release was created by renowned blender Miles Munroe, who found inspiration in the traditions of Cognac and Armagnac. The majority of the whiskey underwent secondary maturation in prized Hungarian oak and large French oak Armagnac casks. The Hungarian oak was chosen to bridge spice and sweetness, while the Armagnac casks contribute the distinctive influence of a brandy made from Baco Blanc grapes through single distillation. Bottled at a robust 57% ABV, Milestone Edition No. 4 brings these mature parcels and unusual cask influences together in a singular expression of Westward’s more than two decades of whiskey-making experience. Each custom 750ml bottle is individually numbered and finished with a premium closure sculpted with the distillery’s iconic blackbird. Highly allocated nationwide, this is Westward’s annual masterpiece and one of the most ambitious American single malts of the year.
