From the Distillery
- “Over the years, Westland has loaned whiskey casks to some of our favorite regional breweries, all in the spirit of camaraderie and kinship. As a result, we’ve built up a surprising inventory of beer, mead, cider, and barleywine casks. Our next Cask Exchange release finished its maturation in a cask from Fast Penny Spirits, which previously held a barrel-aged Seattle Amaro. Fast Penny Spirits resides five miles north of Westland’s distillation and after nearly near five years of barrel exchanging with them, we’ve finally got a resulting whiskey ready for you to taste. Experience the meeting of malt, oak, and apple in this limited edition bottling before it’s gone.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Lemon curd, raspberry vinaigrette, French toast, fudge.”
- Palate: “Burnt croissant, green tea, white chocolate.”
From Fast Penny
- “Aged for 10 years in barrels that previously held Amaricano Rossa, this exceptional whiskey is an exploration of balance and complexity. With a rich amber hue, it offers an intriguing blend of malted barley and subtle peat smoke. The tasting notes include hints of toffee, honey, and dark chocolate, complemented by the herbal and citrus-driven flavors of Amaricano Rossa. The finish is long, with a touch of smoke and a lasting sweetness that lingers. This highly sought-after whiskey sold out in less than a month, making it a rare collector’s item.”
