Picture this. French oak casks maturing sherry in Spain’s famous Jerez region. The best region for sherry making. The thick syrupy sherry sinking into the wood of the casks. Then after being emptied the casks were shipped across the Atlantic landing in Oregon. There, whiskey that was already matured in american oak undergoes a secondary maturation for two years in these amazing french oak casks.
The resulting liquid is the final club release of 2024, Westward Whiskey Oloroso Sherry Cask.
Westward Whiskey Oloroso Sherry Cask is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), priced at $99.95, and available exclusively to Whiskey Club members. To access this release, join the Westward Whiskey Club, which reaches more than 35 states across the country.
The Club, which was first introduced in 2019 and was only accessible in Oregon, the home state of Westward Whiskey, now has a nationwide reach of over 35 states, which is by far the most extensive of any whiskey company. Members enjoy camaraderie with individuals who appreciate American whiskey innovation, club-only events hosted by Westward's team of specialists, and unique access to whiskey releases.
The Expedition Club and Founder's Club are the two tiers from which members can select. In Westward's four annual Club releases, Expedition Club members will get one bottle of whiskey (about $100 each quarter), while Founder's Club members would receive three bottles per quarter (approximately $300 per quarter). Shipping to over 35 states is included.
Additional benefits for members include a guided tasting of multiple expressions of the brand's award-winning American single malt whiskies, an annual Westward Experience, and a distillery tour and tasting that provides a comprehensive look into Westward's four-step production process of brewing, distillation, maturation, and mingling.
Members of the Westward Whiskey Club enjoy 15% off all lessons, tours, ticketed events, and products in addition to invitations to club-only events, such as the annual Founder's Club-only event. Members of the Expedition and Founder's Club are granted exclusive access to the distillery, allowing them to sample and buy rare whiskey that has been stored in the library for years.
