This launch is the seventh in The Heart Cut’s ongoing mission to spotlight the breadth of the whisky category, through its single cask and small batch collaborations.
The Heart Cut releases new spirits periodically throughout the year, each carefully selected cask has been chosen in collaboration with the partner distillery.
Determined to avoid the jargon and traditional branding often associated with whisky, the company opts instead for colourful labels with easy to digest cask information.
Located in the American Northwest, an area abundant with barley, Westward’s Whiskeys are recognised as balanced and fruit-forward.
