Westland Colere American Single Malt Whiskey 2nd Edition

With Colere, we set out to chart the direct impact of barley on flavor. Leaving behind the well-trod territory of ubiquitous grains, it begins to explore the thousands of new and forgotten varieties of barley whose flavor has yet to be considered, striving to capture the vibrancy and diversity of Pacific Northwest terroir through single malt whiskey.

The second edition of Colere continues our exploration of new varieties of barley, bred outside the commodity system with flavor first in mind (not just yield). Colere Edition 2 is a limited annual bottling made with Talisman, a 2-row winter variety descended from the irrepressible Maris Otter and matured in only used casks to relegate the oak influence to a supporting role and focus the attention on the grain itself.
