This afternoon/evening was our first of two baby showers. Not only were we surrounded by friends & family, but we were also surrounded by some good wine & other drinks. This was one of the selections at our whisk(e)y & cigar bar.

Last time I had this was back at university - was nice to circle back on it so many years later. — 5 years ago

I love me some Scotch, but this might be my favorite whisk(e)y out there. The nutty, chocolate richness is right up my alley. 46% ABV is great too, a drop or two of water really opens it up. I would be curious to try this at cask strength. Everyone should have a bottle of this (plus other Westland offerings) in their bar. Delicious. — 4 years ago

WOW!! Incredibly smooth, well refined and like an angel gently caressing your tongue with a whisk of mature red fruit, a slight bit of jam and a clean, finish. A satisfying mouth feel all the way through, and lingering notes of light smoke, wood and vanilla. I wish I had picked up a second bottle! — 2 years ago
