From the Distillery
- “Solum Edition 3 marks another step forward in our exploration Pacific Northwest terroir. Solum delves deeper into the previously undiscovered flavors of Northwest peat by way of spirit and wood. Edition 3 marks a specific time and place, utilizing refill Westland casks and new American oak for maturation. The resulting whiskey imparts a nuanced oak profile, complementing the signature herbal and menthol notes emblematic of Westland’s previous Solum releases.”
- Tasting Notes
- Nose: “Vanilla custard, pralines, grilled pineapple, croissant.”
- Palate: “Toasted sourdough, cedar, baked pear, candied ginger.”
- “The third edition of Solum continues a curiously careful dredge into the depths of local peat. This release partially parts from its predeccor’s formulation. Solum One and Two balanced new oak vs ex-bourbon barrels to achieve breadth, for the edition Three the gestures of grandeur are provided by refill Westland and new oak casks. Our refill casks offer unmatched equanimity; they find a middle path between new and used, faintly brused with the character of a past life. In primitive parlance, the oak on offer is more powerful in this version - a bounty that ushers peaty elements to the initial nose.”
