It’s a limited, individually numbered \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican single malt\u003c\/strong\u003e from Portland, Oregon, drawn from a \u003cstrong\u003e21-barrel Solera\u003c\/strong\u003e, a living collection of some of Westward’s oldest and most precious whiskeys that changes every year as whiskey is drawn off for the release and new casks take its place. Each Milestone captures the Solera at one moment in its evolution, and the brand says this edition “can never be repeated.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEdition No. 4, the fourth annual release, was blended by Miles Munroe, who took his inspiration from \u003cstrong\u003eCognac and Armagnac\u003c\/strong\u003e: brandies shaped by one harvest and one place. Most of this year’s whiskey went through secondary maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eHungarian oak\u003c\/strong\u003e, which bridges the spice of French oak and the sweetness of American oak, and in large \u003cstrong\u003eArmagnac casks of French oak\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e57% ABV (114 proof)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The nose opens with Manuka honey, gardenia, coconut, and citrus oil, the palate turns richer with brown sugar, split oak, vanilla, apricot, and fig, and the finish runs long with citrus rind, cherry, tobacco, walnut, and espresso. Each bottle arrives individually numbered in a gift box, which makes it a gift for a single malt fan, a centerpiece for a Westward collection, or a bottle to open for a milestone of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican single malt whiskey from Westward Whiskey, Portland, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-barrel Solera; secondary maturation in Hungarian oak and French-oak Armagnac casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e57% ABV (114 proof); individually numbered bottle in a gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition No. 4 of the annual Milestone series; 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Westward’s description, as quoted by retailers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manuka honey, gardenia, coconut, and citrus oil, with earthy cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar, split oak, warming spice, vanilla, apricot, fig, and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and layered, with citrus rind, bright cherry, tobacco, walnut, and espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe honey, fig, and leather pair well with aged cheeses, roast duck, and charcuterie.
