Westland Distillery Watchpost 8 Year Old American Blended Whiskey 750ml
Watchpost is a new brand launched by Westland Distillery, the Seattle-based pioneer behind the modern American single malt whiskey movement. This blend brings together Westland's Five-Malt Mashbill, aged in new oak and PX sherry casks, with MGP grain whiskey aged in ex-bourbon barrels, creating an easygoing, layered whiskey inspired by Pacific Northwest outdoor culture. True to Westland's commitment to place, $1 from every bottle sold supports the Washington Trails Association, helping protect and maintain public trail access across the state.
