Again, our five-malt spirit plays a significant role, allowing us to balance the sherry influence with our local malted barley flavor. We have our sherry casks shipped whole, which is unusual in the business of whiskey. This provides a sherry character that is still incredibly vibrant in this whiskey, but we always ensure the barley notes have an equal voice, something rarely done in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWestland Sherry Wood American Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose: \u003c\/b\u003eToasted oatmeal and baking spice and banana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate: \u003c\/b\u003eSoft, with a full mouth feel and notes of pancakes, maple scones, and hints of exotic fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Smooth with a tang. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThurso is the most northerly town on the British mainland with records dating back to Viking times, when it was under Norse Orcadian rule and a major gateway to Scandinavia and the Northern Isles.
