A late night end to this Acacia Cask Finished Westward single malt. All the familiar Westward notes I love, darker, with a mouthwatering tanginess from a zingy grapefruit zest note. That’s what I said at uncorking and it’s been consistent right up to this final pour. Cheers! New notes on FOUR WAIHEKE WHISKIES. Tap that πŸ”— IN BIO for deets on this intriguing flight from New Zealand. Cheers! Good sooty sherried stuff. Brings back memories of visiting Sandy Bells Pub in Edinburgh, where I first experienced Kilkerran many years ago. SlΓ‘inte!
