4 The Whiskey Wash

A well balanced, unique, lovely single malt, bottled at a perfect ABV. Westland Distillery Garryana Oak Edition 6 is a joy to nose and drink – and if you can do it while sitting among the trees as I did in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, it might take you to a very peaceful pleasant journey. Each Westland Distillery Garryana Oak edition is a welcome and unique experience. This particular edition is a little less Garryana oak-forward with the PX sherry influence being a big factor; it is, however, a beautiful marriage and even though the oak influence is less than, say, editions 1 or 5, it is still there, tempered with the PX and brandy influence. Great nose, and a good introduction to Garryana oak, a capricious but lovely oak species. If you are looking for a gift for a friend who loves single malts looking for something they have not had, or a bourbon drinker who also enjoys a single malt, this is a good option. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey–but unique, well executed whiskies often are.
