Westward Vienna Malt (Club Exclusive Release), 45%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

Fresh grain scents fill the nose, reminiscent of Frosted Flakes, baking spice, freshly baked sugar cookies, and other warm, musty, yeasty notes. Hints of soft stone fruit, plus pear and watermelon, add pleasant fruity undertones. The palate is light on its feet and rife with sweet vanilla and coconut. The finish carries all these flavors forward with aplomb, bursting with more vanilla, malty grain, and cinnamon roll.
