Westward Belgian Ardennes Trappist Ale (2021)

Westward Belgian Ardennes Trappist Ale

American Single Malt Whiskey – Single Barrel Selection

This Westward Belgian Ardennes Trappist Ale is a unique single-barrel bottling from the American distillery Westward Whiskey (Oregon) . For this exclusive release, the whiskey was aged in barrels that previously held Belgian Trappist Ale from the Ardennes , resulting in a distinct and complex flavor profile.

The nose reveals malt, caramel, ripe apple, dried fruit, and a light spiciness . The flavor is full and layered, with toffee, biscuit, honey, soft hop notes, and a subtle spicy bitterness that clearly hints at the beer influence. The finish is medium to long , warm, and slightly dry, with a nice balance between sweet and spicy.

At 45% ABV and with a single barrel character, this is an expressive American single malt , ideal for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten track.
