When life gives you the wrong grain varietal, make American single malt whiskey.

Bruichladdich’s New Port Charlotte Whisky Is the Oldest Version of This Peaty Single Malt Yetis a science, and like most things that require careful formulations and measurements very little is left up to chance throughout the process. But sometimes serendipity enters the picture, resulting in a happy accident that actually works despite a potentially major screw-up. Such is the case with the new Westward Whiskey Vienna Malt, which only exists because of a delivery mistake.

According to master blender Miles Munroe, Vienna malt is popular among brewers who use it in Oktoberfest beer and some IPAs. He credits the team’s brewing background as being the reason why they were able to pull this whiskey off, and why they are able to make the whiskey they do in general. To be totally transparent, I respect Westward and have tried many of their whiskeys, but they are generally not my go-to in the American single malt category.
