Westland Distillery employs a unique approach to whiskey production that emphasizes the use of local ingredients and innovative techniques. Their flagship American Single Malt Whiskey is crafted from a carefully selected grain bill that includes various malts, such as Washington Select Pale Malt and Bairds Heavily Peated Malt. This meticulous selection contributes to the whiskey's complex flavor profile, which is further enhanced by the use of diverse cask types, including new American oak and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. The distillery's commitment to quality is evident in their minimum maturation time of 40 months and the use of Belgian Brewer’s yeast, which plays a crucial role in the fermentation process lasting between 96 to 144 hours.

In addition to their flagship whiskey, Westland Distillery explores the unique characteristics of the Garry Oak, a native species found in the Pacific Northwest. The Garryana American Single Malt showcases the distinct flavors imparted by this rare oak, creating a whiskey that reflects the local terroir. Each release of the Garryana series reveals different flavor dimensions, highlighting the interplay between lighter and darker elements in the whiskey. This dedication to innovation and tradition allows Westland Distillery to carve out a significant place in the global single malt whiskey market, offering a distinctly American product that honors the craft of distilling while pushing the boundaries of flavor exploration.
