What it tastes like.

Westward American Single Malt is made from locally malted barley and brewed for flavour before maturation in new, lightly charred American oak barrels in Oregon. Hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters give the whiskey a distinctive, rich, full-bodied character.

45% ABV. 700ml.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Westward Whiskey

Oregon

Christian Krogstad and Thomas Mooney founded Westward in Portland, Oregon, in 2004. Krogstad came out of Oregon's craft brewing scene — head brewer at McMenamins' Edgefield Brewery, founder of Orchard Street Brewing in Bellingham — and built Westward's process from the brewing side: the whiskey is mashed and fermented as an American Pale Ale before distillation, using locally-malted Pacific Northwest barley and ale yeast at low fermentation temperatures.
