Wednesday afternoon, September 29th, I was on the train to Amsterdam Central Station to attend a whisky dinner at JD William's whisky bar. I was invited by Bart’s Bottles<\/a> to attend the dinner and, of course, to taste whisky. The distillery? Westward<\/a>an American Single Malt producer. I had no idea what to expect as I had no idea that American Single Malts existed and this is my first Whisky Dinner ever. Therefore, I am Bart’s Bottles<\/a> very grateful for this invitation.

It was an informative afternoon in which chief distiller, Miles Munroe<\/a> told us about their beautiful distilling process and passionately let us taste three different whiskies. Upon entering, we already got a taste of the Westward American single malt Pinot Noir Cask. A very robust and sweet entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westward Distillery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2004, Portland Oregon, Westward has been striving for almost two decades to create a product that truly adds something to the world of whisky. In their own unique way, the originally beer brewers have made whisky their craft. And you can really tell. The taste of the whiskies is full and robust. Their passion for the golden drink does not stop at making whisky. They are working as one of the front runners to make the Amercian Single Malt an official category within the whisky world. And are co-founders of the ASMWC (American Single Malt Whiskey Commission). So it struck me that they also list the product as \"Whiskey\" and not as Whisky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
