I have been looking forward to getting my hands on Westland Colere Edition 3. Bottled at 50% ABV and priced at $183.58, it promises genuine character.
Nose
Grainy and yeasty, the whiskey has an herbal nose, like a light tea leaf, with chickpea and plastic notes.
Palate
Great heat at the top of the palate, with a balanced spice that coats, and notes of marshmallow. I also placed the flavors of spice, fennel, and sugar like sweet mukhwas, an Ayurvedic snack that I highly recommend!
Finish
I appreciated this expression, as well as the mission of Westland as it continues to develop unique flavor profiles while representing American Single Malt. Colere Edition 3 is a bright and bold whiskey that is balanced and delectable with a heat that builds but doesnt overwhelm.
The Bottom Line
Westland Colere Edition 3 is outstanding — one of those bottles that reminds you why you fell in love with whiskey in the first place. If you see it at $183.58, do not hesitate. This one earns a permanent spot on the shelf.
