WESTLAND

The limited edition "Garryana" bottles were sold out within a few weeks.

In 2019/ 2020 , the Westland distillery enjoyed tremendous global demand for single malt whiskies, and in particular increasingly sharp expertise on the part of clients. Demand is even greater for eaux-de-vie authentically rooted in their terroir – the main feature of the Westland range.

Bolstered by the sincerity of its founders and the quality of its whiskies, the distillery continues to receive exceptional media coverage and unanimous recognition from all industry players. All three of Westland’s key products have scored more than 96 points in the last two years, and the distillery manager was named "2020 Global Distillery Manager of the Year" at the most recent World Whisky Awards.

The most prominent launch of the year was most certainly that of the new limited edition " Garryana". This single malt , partially matured in casks made from a local species of oak, Quercus Garryana, sold out within a few weeks.

Hailing from a region that cares deeply about the environment , Westland has extremely high aspirations when it comes to corporate social responsibility. In particular, the distillery has committed to funding a full - time PhD student at Washington State University, who is researching sustainable barley production. Like many of the Group’s other sites, the distillery has also been highly active during the coronavirus pandemic, making hand sanitizer for the various medical facilities in the Seattle region. 

In the 2020 / 2021 financial year, the distillery will continue its innovation efforts and launch a brand new whisky made from a new barley varietal. An exciting next chapter in the wonderful Westland adventure.
