About This Spirit from the Maker
Source: Westward Whiskey Stout Cask
A celebration of Oregon’s legendary brewing culture, this whiskey pushes the boundaries of flavor.
Our Stout Cask Finish begins with Westward Whiskey Original, then is aged for up to one year in barrels that once held Stout from our local brewery collaborators. These casks, seasoned with rich and roasty beer, lend notes of chocolate, coffee, and dark malt—enhancing the depth of our whiskey without overpowering it.
For nearly a decade, we’ve exchanged barrels with some of the Northwest’s top brewers in a shared tradition of craftsmanship. This whiskey is the product of that creative exchange.
Bottled at 46% ABV / 92 proof
TASTING NOTES
AROMA: Hazelnut, honeycomb, roasted barley
PALATE: Milk chocolate, banana, almond toffee
FINISH: Oaky vanilla, chocolate almond, mint, citrus

How We Feel About the Spirit
Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask (92 Proof): A Toast to Oregon’s Brewing Soul
Our introduction to Westward through Pourmore didn’t just spark curiosity — it opened a door. After tasting the Reserve Bar Top Flight Series Barrel 16, we knew we needed to explore more of what this distillery could do. That’s how the Westward American Single Malt Whiskey Stout Cask found its way into the Sipping Room.
This bottle feels like a love letter to Oregon’s brewing culture. Westward begins with their Original whiskey, then finishes it for up to a year in barrels that once held stout from local brewery collaborators. Those stout‑seasoned casks lend notes of chocolate, coffee, and dark malt — flavors that deepen the whiskey without overwhelming it.
It’s a bottle shaped by community and creativity, the result of nearly a decade of barrel‑swapping with some of the Northwest’s top brewers. Even unopened, it radiates the promise of richness and depth.
We haven’t tasted it yet, but the anticipation is part of the ritual. Every time we pass it in the Sipping Room, we imagine the moment we finally pour that first glass. If Westward continues to impress the way it did with our first bottle, this Stout Cask may become a regular in our rotation.
