The Westward Single Barrel Selection BELGIAN ARDENNES is an exceptional American single malt whisky from the USA, which combines Westward’s roots in craft brewing with modern whisky production. For this special bottling, Westward uses an Ardennes Farmhouse yeast from Culmination Brewing. The yeast strain is named after the Belgian Ardennes and is traditionally used for beer styles such as Saison, farmhouse ale and Trappist beer. Westward specifically chose this yeast for its characteristic notes of banana, clove and black pepper. These are intended to complement Westward’s signature character of dried fruit and baking spices, and to demonstrate the influence fermentation can have on an American single malt.


As a Single Barrel Selection, this edition focuses on the individual character of a selected cask. In its whiskies, Westward deliberately combines experience from the American craft beer Szene with the production of American single malt whisky, with malt and fermentation playing a central role in particular. In the case of the Belgian Ardennes, this concept is particularly evident through the use of the unusual beer yeast. At 45% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, this bottling offers a unique interpretation of the Westward Whiskey style and is aimed particularly at whisky enthusiasts who wish to explore experimental fermentation methods and the intersection between craft beer and single malt whisky.
