This hands-on method transforms our flavorful brew into a robust and expressive spirit.AGED LIKE A BOURBONWe age our whiskey in new American oak barrels—heavily toasted and lightly charred—to unlock layers of vanilla, spice, and fruit. Each barrel is carefully selected to enhance the richness and depth of our whiskey.To showcase the full spectrum of earthy, fruity, and spicy flavors, we mingle our barrels in small batches to achieve Westward’s signature profile: layered, balanced, and unapologetically bold.DISTINCT.
