Westward Whiskey and The Whisky Club have teamed up for a sell-out release

Westward Whiskey Muscat

Whiskey (whisky if you prefer) is often times a collectors item, and Westward Whiskey is quickly becoming the item every true aficionado has in their collection. They’ve now teamed up with The Whisky Club, the ultimate subscription for every whiskey lover, for a VERY limited release of Westward Whiskey’s Vintage Muscat Cask. This first for the distillery is a love-child years in the making with Australia’s own Rutherglen region, where they’ve taken muscat barrels from iconic Stanton and Killeen vineyard to age their all-American mash in. Westward has won many awards, including Double Gold in the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Awards for their truly delicious Pinot Noir Cask, which is proof they’re a heavy-hitter in the whiskey market. Perhaps most inspiring though is the passion behind Westward. Westward’s legendary Master Blender, Miles Munroe flew out to speak at the launch and explained his ethos of believing “the future of whiskey is more interesting than its past”. A bold statement for a heritage product, but it’s clear to see the innovation coming out of new-age brewers who are being deliberately inefficient, trying new things and choosing flavour over volume. If you want to get your hands on one of these coveted bottles you’ll have to be quick as it’s sure to be a sell out range and it’s exclusively available through The Whisky Club as their December Whisky of the Month. The Whisky Club launched the Westward Rum Cask in 2021 to members and it was chosen by most as their winner for the year… Read More

What to know about the new Westward Whiskey

Westward Whiskey 1

With SO many new brands of the same old alcohols out there, it can be easy to simply walk past them on the shelf, overlook it in a bar or just simply put it down to “just another whiskey“. But Westward doesn’t feel like it fits into that category. But why? Sure, it’s another one, but they have a vision: to make a distinctive American whiskey inspired by the American Northwest and make it accessible to all Australians. When Westward started, there were only three dozen craft distilleries in the U.S. Today, helmed by Thomas Mooney, who joined the team as Founder & CEO in 2011 to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a whiskey entrepreneur, Westward is a proud leader among more than 2,200 producers and bring their product to discerning Australian drinkers. From humble beginnings to its impressive footprint today, creating a bold, robust, and delicious whiskey has remained the team’s true passion. For more than two decades, we’ve proudly served as a leading voice for American Single Malt. Their process is where Westward comes to life, with a four-pillar approach to how they go about their product. Westward is all about brewing with an American Ale from scratch, distillation which they do twice, maturation they carry out in a new, lightly charred American Oak barrel and mingling with small batches to get the flavour that works for them.
