A rich and chocolatey American Single Malt Whiskey in a collector’s edition bottle.
Anchor Brewery was founded in 1896 in San Francisco — surviving the 1906 earthquake, Prohibition era, and several ownership changes. But in 1965 it needed saving once again. Fritz Maytag stepped up to re-create their iconic Anchor Steam beer and, in so doing, is credited with launching the micro-brewery revolution. Fritz did not stop there. In 1993 he launched Anchor Distillery, which quickly expanded to a full line of unique spirits. Fritz sold the business to a pair of seasoned industry veterans and today Anchor produces, imports, and distributes nearly 400 spirits, including their award-winning Westland line of Whiskies.
Westland was one of the pioneers of Single Malt Whiskey made in America. They are celebrating this award-winning signature achievement with a special, signed edition. Our sources tell us that only 200 bottles will be hand-signed by Master Distiller Matt Hofmann. In case you need a reminder, Westland’s American Oak Single Malt Whiskey combines five different malted barleys fermented with Belgian brewer’s yeast. Then it’s aged a minimum of two years in new American oak barrels and bottled at a perfect 46% ABV. And that’s the real secret here — they bring a brewer's detailed attention to the grains and yeast on the front end and master distilling craftsmanship on the back end.
