Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4 American Single Malt Whiskey

American Single Malt | 57% ABV | 114 Proof | 750mL | Portland, Oregon | 21-Barrel Solera | Limited 2026 Edition

Process & Profile

Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4 is a limited American single malt built around the distillery’s evolving 21-barrel Solera, which contains some of Westward’s oldest and most prized whiskeys. As whiskey is removed for each annual Milestone release, exceptional new casks are introduced, allowing flavors from previous editions to remain while the Solera continues developing.

Created by blending expert Miles Munroe, Edition No. 4 draws inspiration from the regional character and traditional flavors of Cognac and Armagnac. The majority of the whiskey underwent secondary maturation in Hungarian oak and large French oak Armagnac casks, adding spice, dark fruit, earthy depth, and mature oak structure to Westward’s robust American single malt foundation.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Manuka honey, gardenia, coconut, citrus oil, cedar, and earthy vetiver.

• Palate: Brown sugar, split oak, birch, warming spice, savory vanilla, apricot, fig, and leather.

• Finish: Long and layered with lemon and lime rind, bright cherry, tobacco, walnut, bergamot, and espresso affogato.

How to Enjoy

Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4 is best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass, allowing its honey, floral, citrus, dark-fruit, and oak characteristics to open gradually. Let the whiskey rest briefly before tasting, then add a few drops of water to reveal additional vanilla, apricot, fig, bergamot, and baking-spice notes.

Its rich profile also pairs well with dark chocolate, dried figs, roasted walnuts, aged cheese, or an after-dinner espresso.
