Elixir Distillers The Whisky Trail Westland American Single Malt

85/ 100Very good

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.

A nice dram, far more elegant than what I’ve had from other American single malts, with a subtle peaty hint as a welcome asset.
