{"product_id":"westward-smoked-cask-whiskey-2025","title":"Westward Whiskey Smoked-Cask - 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn our first-ever foray into smoked whiskey, Westward’s bold single malt meets the delicate, earthy influence of peat. This innovative release blends Westward aged for 5.5 and 6 years in new American oak, then finished between 11 and 18 months in custom casks from Independent Stave Company that had been gently smoked over a peat fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike peated Scotch, this whiskey takes a restrained approach. The peat presents as soft, earthy smoke with hints of dry herbs, offering balance and complexity without dominating the palate. The extra-long finishing process across multiple fill points allowed us to capture a dynamic range of flavors—layering in smoke, toasted oak, and subtle spice while preserving Westward’s signature notes of citrus, roasted malt, and creamy vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare expression for us and one we crafted with intention. It’s a fresh, approachable take on peat for novices and a nuanced delight for seasoned palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted not to imitate, but to innovate—this smoked-cask whiskey is Westward’s signature style, with a bold new twist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottled at 90 proof (45% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre you a Club member?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/westwardwhiskey.com\/account\/login\"\u003eLogin\u003c\/a\u003e to access this exclusive Club release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot a member yet? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/westwardwhiskey.com\/pages\/the-club\"\u003eJoin now\u003c\/a\u003e for access to rare releases and exclusive quarterly offerings! \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.flex-container {\n  display: flex;\n}\n\n.flex-container \u003e div {\n  background-color: #E8E4DF;\n  margin: 10px;\n  padding: 20px;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(1, 98, 113);\"\u003eAROMA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight smoke, roasted grain, a touch of spice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(1, 98, 113);\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmooth and gently smoky, with hints of chocolate, malt, herbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-c489a4df-7fff-4dfc-c74d-988a6be52ef8\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(1, 98, 113);\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eClean and dry with soft smoke, toasted oak\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Westward","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50509463060672,"sku":"WW-SMOKED-2025-6-750","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/5749\/4976\/files\/WW_SB_Smoked_Casks_2048x2048_59e57697-f3d3-4d9f-b1c8-aabfdfb0f6e6.png?v=1792104399","url":"https:\/\/pickup.westwardwhiskey.com\/products\/westward-smoked-cask-whiskey-2025","provider":"Westward Whiskey - Pickup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
