Be on the lookout for the limited supply of Westland's Garryana 7 when it drops next month.
, the distillery has been experimenting with different barley varieties and cask types since its founding in 2010. Remy-Cointeau acquired the distillery in 2017, but that seems to have not stymied its spirit of experimentation at all. To wit, the Outpost Range features three different expressions designed to showcase the terroir of the Pacific NW—Colere , Solum and Garryana .
Garryana Edition 7 is produced from a six-barley mashbill—Washington Select Pale Malt, Munich Malt, Extra Special Malt, Pale Chocolate Malt, Brown Malt and Baird’s Heavily Peated Malt. It was then matured in three different cask types—50 percent Washington State red wine barrels, 46 percent Garryana barrels and 4 percent first-fill ex-barrels. Finally, it was finished in Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels from three different Washington State wineries.
According to Hoffman, the length of maturation was “a big blend.” “The minimum maturation was 43 months, the maximum was over seven years,” he told. “Approximately 1/3 of the blend was spirit from three to five years of age, and the other 2/3 were five to seven years of age.” The makeup of the casks and the length of maturation varies from year to year.
We got to sample the new Garryana Edition 7, and it is a complex whiskey bursting with flavor—dark and milk chocolate lead the palate, followed by red and black berries, vanilla pudding, toffee and a burst of baking spices. It’s bottled at 100 proof and is non-chill filtered. If you’re interested in trying it for yourself, the whiskey comes out on February 1 with a price tag of $149.99 . Just 6,900 bottles are being released globally, so set your calendar alert now.
