A LEGACY THAT SPANS TWO DECADES

In over twenty years of whiskey-making, we’ve learned what it takes to create something unforgettable. Inspired by the beauty of the American Northwest, its pioneering spirit, and its rich culinary culture, Westward Whiskey is crafted to build peak flavor from the ground up. Our award-winning American whiskeys reflect a commitment to boldness, balance, and creativity.

WE ARE THE PINNACLE OF AMERICAN WHISKEY

——

We honor our home in every bottle. From the Columbia River Gorge to the slopes of Mount Hood, the American Northwest is woven into every step of our process.

This region offers one of the most fertile barley-growing climates in the world—an ideal place to craft world-class whiskey.

——

The Northwest has long attracted hardworking visionaries—people driven to build something better.

Our team of creators includes former brewers, winemakers, and Michelin-trained chefs with more than 50 years of collective distilling experience. Their passion and expertise push the boundaries of traditional whiskey-making.

——

There are no shortcuts in our deliberate process—and therein lies the beauty.

We blend the best of brewing, distilling, and aging traditions to create a whiskey like no other.

  • Brewed Like a Craft Ale

    We start by brewing a full-flavored American Ale entirely from scratch. Using locally malted barley, ale yeast, and a slow, low-temperature fermentation, we build a bold and complex foundation for our whiskey.

  • DISTILLED LIKE A SINGLE MALT

    That fresh ale is double-distilled in custom low-reflux pot stills designed to retain character and texture. This hands-on method transforms our flavorful brew into a robust and expressive spirit.

  • AGED LIKE A BOURBON

    We age our whiskey in new American oak barrels—heavily toasted and lightly charred—to unlock layers of vanilla, spice, and fruit. Each barrel is carefully selected to enhance the richness and depth of our whiskey.

To showcase the full spectrum of earthy, fruity, and spicy flavors, we mingle our barrels in small batches to achieve Westward’s signature profile: layered, balanced, and unapologetically bold.
