Experience two distinctive sides of American Single Malt Whiskey with the Westward Milestone Edition No. 4 & Westward Rum Cask American Single Malt Whiskey Bundle. This premium two-bottle collection pairs Westward's sophisticated Milestone Edition No. 4 with the tropical, cask-finished character of Westward Rum Cask American Single Malt.
Crafted in Oregon, Westward has built its identity around a malt-forward approach to American whiskey. This bundle gives collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to explore both a premium Milestone release and a distinctive rum cask-finished American single malt side by side.
Westward Milestone Edition No. 4 American Single Malt
Westward Milestone Edition No. 4 represents an elevated expression of Westward's American single malt style. Presented as part of the brand's “Legacy in the Making” series, Edition No. 4 is described on the bottle as slow proofed in casks for uncommon depth of character.
Bottled at 50% ABV / 100 proof, this whiskey delivers a concentrated malt profile with expected layers of caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, dark fruit, cocoa, oak, and warming baking spice. Its sculptural bottle and numbered presentation further distinguish it as a premium Westward release.
Westward Rum Cask American Single Malt
Westward Rum Cask American Single Malt Whiskey adds another dimension to the distillery's malt-driven house style through rum cask finishing.
The interaction between malt whiskey and rum-seasoned wood can introduce layers of caramelized sugar, tropical fruit, vanilla, molasses-like richness, toasted oak, spice, and ripe fruit alongside Westward's characteristic malt foundation.
The result provides a compelling contrast to Milestone Edition No. 4: one expression focused on concentrated maturation and depth, the other showcasing how a distinctive finishing cask can transform American single malt.
A Premium Westward Tasting Experience
Together, these bottles make an excellent Westward Whiskey tasting set. Compare the structured, oak-driven richness of Milestone Edition No. 4 against the sweeter, fruit-forward and cask-influenced profile of Rum Cask.
Whether purchased for a home collection, comparative tasting, special occasion, or as a premium whiskey gift, this bundle offers an engaging exploration of contemporary Oregon American single malt.
