Westland American Single Malt Cask 5700 Symposium 750ml

Part of Westland’s experimental Cask Exploration program, Cask 5700 "Symposium" is a bold, limited-edition single malt that blends tradition with innovation. This expression was first matured for approximately four years in new American oak, then finished for nearly three more years in an ex-tequila cask—resulting in a whiskey that’s both rich and refreshingly unique.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Cherry pie, dark chocolate, maple syrup, citrus peel, and subtle roasted oak
Palate: Creamy layers of caramel, blackberry jam, nougat, molasses, grilled fruit, and toasted grain
Finish: Long and evolving, with notes of singed lime peel, vanilla smoke, cocoa, and dry spice
