Westward Whiskey Vintner's Cuvée - an exceptional mingle of whiskeys aged in fruit-forward Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and Pinot Noir barrels from right here in Oregon and around the world. In our continual quest to push whiskey forward, we drew from the legacy of the world’s finest wines, delivering a dram with a bold berry character.

Aged exclusively in a barrel previously used to age fine bourbon and then brandy, we’ve achieved a distinctly different twist on our award-winning whiskey. By utilizing a double-seasoned barrel for the primary maturation of this whiskey, the distinct characteristics of bourbon and apple brandy are brought to the forefront, unlocking the grain and fruit notes in our whiskey.
