Facts

Seattle's Westland Distillery built an entire economy around sourcing rare Garry oak, the protected native species of the Pacific Northwest. Master blender Shane Armstrong crafted Edition 6 by marrying 41 months of maturation across five distinct cask types. The virgin Quercus garryana provides savory spice and woody backbone. Pedro Ximénez sherry butts add darker fruit sweetness. Calvados and American brandy casks brighten the oak's natural intensity. Each sip reveals cedar and cinnamon, dried apricot and maple candy, with white pepper spice threading through the finish. Only 5,922 bottles reached the world.

About the Westland Garryana 6th Edition

Westland Garryana 6th Edition is an American single malt whisky from the United States, crafted at Westland Distillery in Seattle. This release showcases the rare Garry oak indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. Westland spent years developing sustainable sourcing for this protected oak species. They describe the project as an entire economy built around a precious raw material. The 6th Edition combines 25% virgin Quercus garryana with 65% second-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts. Small percentages of Calvados, American grape brandy, and Washington apple brandy casks complete the blend. The native oak's savory spice profile shines through 41 months of maturation. Brandy casks provide brightness while sherry adds darker fruit complexity. Maple syrup and brown sugar greet the nose alongside cinnamon, clove and milk chocolate. Lemon and apple notes appear on the palate with white pepper and licorice spice. Westland Garryana 6th Edition bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration. No colouring is added, preserving the natural depth of the cask influence. Master blender Shane Armstrong orchestrated the cask combination to balance Garry oak intensity with fruit and sweetness. This limited release of 5,922 bottles demonstrates why Westland leads in defining Pacific Northwest provenance. Enjoy it neat to appreciate the floral, woody and spicy layers that Garry oak alone can deliver. Collectors and single malt enthusiasts value each edition for its evolving cask recipe. The Garryana series has become a benchmark for American terroir-driven whisky. Each edition refines the balance between native oak spice and complementary cask influences.
