Episode Details

Seattle’s Westland Distillery welcomed more than a thousand people this weekend hoping to get their hands on a bottle of the distillery’s first 10-year-old single malt, the 10th Anniversary Garryana. It’s largely matured in Garry Oak casks from the Pacific Northwest, and this year’s release is more scarce than usual - after thieves stole a semi-trailer with nearly half the year’s production of Garryana last month. We’ll talk with Westland master distiller Shane Armstrong and managing director Jason Moore on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Portland’s Westward Distillery has been saved by investors after filing for bankruptcy, and sales  are down again for Pernod Ricard and Moet Hennessy.
