From the Distillery
- “The creative spirit and camaraderie of Pacific Northwest brewing and distilling are on full display in this limited edition collaboration. Coffee stout and Kriek style beers aged in whiskey casks by Black Raven Brewing Co. were refilled by Westland and matured at our coastal rackhouse. The prominent notes of Washington cherries intermingle with coffee and chocolate notes creating a truly unique beer cask-finished single malt.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Candied ginger, bright cherry, roasted almonds, milk chocolate, herbs”
- Palate: “Dark chocolate with cherry, plum cake, ginger bread, distinct bitter finish”
