Master Distiller Matt Hofmann and the team at Westland are redefining American whiskey by pushing single malts to new heights. Hofmann’s dedication to his craft is the driving force behind the success of these whiskies and the establishment of American Single Malt as a respected category. Based in the Pacific Northwest, where there’s an abundance of barley and a temperate, coastal climate, making single malt whiskey seems a natural choice. But with one eye on the ancient malt-regime, Westland knew that their whiskeys would need to be distinct—an authentic American version informed by the classics of Scotland. Several years on, the future of this Westland looks bright and the whiskies have never tasted better.
