THE EVERGREEN COLLECTION
Our first distillery collaboration began in 2014 with Westland in Seattle, Washington. Known for their strong leadership in the burgeoning American single malt whiskey category, we were thrilled to co-create this bold and flavorful distillate featuring Pacific Northwest specialty barley malts: Munich, Crystal, and Chocolate.
From here, each Batch (No.s 1-4) carves its own path. Increased aging time and varied finishing barrels results in unique limited edition malt whiskeys with distinct flavor profiles that exemplify the best of this exceptional grain bill.
All our whiskeys have a story to tell. Explore our library of information following each batch’s journey from grain to glass.
