Elixir Distillers·The Whisky TrailWestland American Single Malt

This is a 9-year-old American single malt bottled by Elixir Distillers from Westland distillate, drawn from a bourbon cask and released at 56.5% ABV. For a novice drinker, that usually suggests a whiskey led by malt character with added vanilla and oak influence from the cask.

American single malt is made from malted barley and matured in the United States, often showing a fuller, grain-driven style than many people expect from American whiskey. At cask strength, this bottle is likely to feel concentrated and robust, so a small splash of water may help open it up.
