Westland Scotch-single
American single malt whiskey, poured with a Long Island merchant's candor.
The story behind Westland
Westland is an American single malt whiskey, which means it is made from malted barley at one distillery, the same definition Scotland uses, just on this side of the Atlantic. American single malt is its own recognized category now, and Westland is one of the names that made it legible to drinkers raised on bourbon and Scotch alike. The house style leans malt-forward and clean, aged in oak, with the barley doing the talking rather than a heavy char or a sweet mash bill.
We have poured these bottles for customers who came in for Scotch and left curious. The American Oak is the entry point, the Peated is for the Islay drinker, and the Sherry Wood rounds it out when we have it. Treat Westland as a single malt first and a curiosity second.

Which Westland is right for you?
Westland sits in the high end of what we charge for a single malt, and the pricing is honest about it. The American Oak is $69.99 for a 750mL, and the Peated is $79.99, a ten dollar step up for the smoke. The Sherry Wood is also $79.99 when it is here, though it is out of stock at the moment. Ask us and we will tell you when the next case lands.
