Founded in 2010 by Matt Hofmann and Emerson Lamb, Westland Distillery has established itself as a benchmark for American single malt whisky from Seattle. Located in the SODO district, this pioneering distillery has developed a unique sense of place with its five‑malt recipe and the innovative use of Garryana oak, a species native to the Pacific Northwest.

This limited edition perfectly illustrates Westland’s philosophy: creating American whiskies that authentically reflect their geographic origin through innovative, artisanal methods and respect for the local terroir.
