This whiskey enjoyed a lengthy two-year secondary maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks to develop toasted, nutty, and autumnal characteristics.
Westward Whiskey has unveiled its highly anticipated final club release of 2024, the Westward Whiskey Oloroso Sherry Cask. This exclusive whiskey, finished in French oak casks that once aged sherry from Spain’s renowned Jerez region, offers a unique tasting experience that blends the best of both worlds. The result is a whiskey that aims to combine the rich, nutty flavors of Oloroso sherry with the distinctive character of Westward’s American Single Malt, creating a complex whiskey.
