A celebration of Oregon’s legendary brewing culture, this whiskey grew out of their longstanding cask-trading tradition among a select group of beer producers in the Northwest. For as long as they've been making whiskey, Westward has traded their freshly-emptied barrels with some of their brewing friends in and around the Northwest, who have in turn “seasoned” them with Stout before returning them again. Westward Stout Cask Finish begins with Westward American Single Malt, and is then aged for one year in Stout casks.
