WESTLAND GARRYANA (750ML)

Exploring the Unique Influence of Garry Oak
Westland’s Garryana series is a tribute to the rare Quercus garryana oak, a species native to the Pacific Northwest. Each edition reveals new dimensions of this distinctive oak, with Edition 8 balancing lighter Pale Malt and Oloroso Sherry casks against the deep, rich character of Garry Oak casks. The result is a complex, bold, and uniquely American single malt whiskey.
