Westward Exclusive Release Single Barrel Selection Grand Cru Sauternes Cask Finished, 45%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

A pleasingly sweet nose evokes honeyed and nutty pastry, like baklava, complete with lovely notes of cinnamon and hints of beeswax. The palate offers sweet malt, honeyed porridge, and baking spices up front, with a creamy, slightly oily texture as peach and poached pears soar into a long finish with final notes of clove.
