@bwmccoy Thank you for giving us infos and reviews of Westland. I only had the regular peated expression but I was impressed and find this distillery to be of interest. One day they will release 12 and 16 yo and everybody will praise them but until then, we could be among the few who enjoy their releases.

I still haven't yet had a taste of Westland, but I am looking forward to it.

@bwmccoy, thank you for your informative review.

Thank you @Robert99 and @Victor for your comments and kind words. I failed to mention in my review that with the addition of a few drops of water, I got a distinct bourbon character. I'm guessing this is a result of the cask.

@paddockjudge - Thank you! I really appreciate it. I posted my second review yesterday and will be posting a third one later today. All three of the whiskies were near the end of the bottle so I wanted to make sure I got the reviews completed before the last dram.
