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 🔗 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. Sláinte!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
