Jake and Scott sit down with Shane Armstrong of Westland Distillery to explore the growing American Single Malt movement. Westland has helped pioneer the category through innovation, transparency, and a true sense of place in the Pacific Northwest.

The conversation centers on the release of Garryana 10th edition, Westland's acclaimed limited-edition Garryana American Single Malt Whiskey. Aged a full 10 years, this special release represents the apex of the Garryana story, showcasing the unique influence of Quercus garryana, the rare native oak of the Pacific Northwest.

Shane discusses how Westland's approach to whiskey-making has elevated American Single Malt to new heights and what this milestone release means for the brand. Westland is committed to pushing the boundaries of American whiskey and preserving its distinctive terroir-driven identity.

Listen now to hear how Westland Distillery continues to shape the future of American Single Malt and what makes Garryana 10 a truly remarkable whiskey — ten years in the making.
