From the Distillery
- “This year’s release of Garryana continues the inquiry and plants yet another marker in uncharted territory that still seems to have no horizon. With Garryana Edition 4 we followed a path we’ve been curious to explore since the beginning: Sherry casks. Again we examine what happens when the traditions of the old world collide with the creativity of the new. What happens when two of the deepest wells of flavor are combined in one bottle? Will one deny a voice to the other? Or will they find harmony in a new and unexpected way? With this release, we place another entry in the record.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Custard, blackberry syrup, dulce de leche, slightly savory.”
- Palate: “Dried blueberries, fudgesicle, fresh oak, grilled plum”
On the Box
- “Native Oak Series: Garryana is a manifestation of provenance. An expressions of the Pacific Northwest - both its land and its culture - in whiskey. With this series of limited edition bottlings, we explore how our unique species of native oak, Quercus Garryana, influences the foundational components that comprise Westland’s distinctive house style of American Single Malt Whiskey. With each edition we move closer to uncovering all that this oak has to offer, and in doing so we continue our pursuit to expand the notion of what single malt can be.”

Archivist’s Notes
- “Garryana Edition 4 is the first in the series to include the usage of Sherry casks. It also appears to be the first in the series to use refill Garryana casks.”
