From the Distillery
- “This cask exchange journey actually started with our friends at Holy Mountain Brewing Co. when they filled fresh port casks with their American Strong Beer and aged it with Brettanomyces yeast for over a year. After emptied, we then took those casks to Westland to be filled with 3-year-old single malt made from our 5-malt barley bill. The new pairing matured for nearly another three years before being blended and bottled for this release. The grain and cask notes intermingle effortlessly, showcasing all the various components in a unique beer cask-finished single malt.”
