Westward Whiskey's Rum Cask is a distinctive American Single Malt that reflects the distillery's innovative approach to whiskey-making. This expression begins with their signature whiskey, which is then finished in casks that previously held Magdalena Rum—a Guatemalan cane-to-glass rum crafted by the Westward team.
Westward Whiskey, established in 2004 in Portland, Oregon, is a pioneering craft distillery renowned for its American Single Malt Whiskey. Founded by Christian Krogstad and Thomas Mooney, the distillery draws inspiration from the brewing traditions of the Pacific Northwest, utilizing regionally sourced malted barley to create exceptional whiskeys.
