Westward Milestone Edition No. 3

Westward Milestone Edition No. 3 is an American single malt whiskey from Westward in Portland, Oregon, United States, bottled at 54.25 alcohol by volume (ABV). It reflects more than two decades of Westward's whiskey-making experience. It is shaped by Verum Factum, the maker's knowledge refined through years of exploration and collaboration. This release was hand-selected by Master Blender Miles Munroe from Westward's exclusive twenty-one-barrel Solera system, a traditional European winemaking method adapted for American whiskey that continuously ages and blends some of the distillery's oldest whiskeys with rare cask influences.

The Solera approach allows layers of mature whiskey to evolve, creating depth while preserving continuity across releases. For Milestone Edition No. 3, the blend highlights finishes from casks sourced through relationships around the globe, including barrels from Rutherglen, Australia; Bordeaux, France; Jerez, Spain; and Oregon's Willamette Valley, capturing a distinct moment in Westward's ongoing story.

The process and profile emphasize complexity built through continuous aging, fractional blending, and diverse finishing casks, resulting in a one-time-only expression defined by evolving structure and layered character. Westward Milestone Edition No. 3 can be enjoyed neat or with a small amount of water to explore its higher strength and unfolding depth, and it pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or decadent desserts. It is well-suited for contemplative sipping or as a gifting option for collectors seeking rare annual releases that cannot be replicated.
