Westward Whiskey introduces Westward x Ken’s Artisan Sourdough Whiskey – 2023 Vintage Blend. The release marks the whiskey producer’s second edition of Sourdough, a collaboration with James Beard award-winning Baker Ken Forkish.
Westward partnered with longtime friend and collaborator Ken Forkish to incorporate his much lauded French Sourdough Levain yeast in lieu of the whiskey’s typical pale ale yeast. While remaining faithful to Westward’s trademark style in all other aspects, a two-week fermentation process yielded a host of new flavors. This whiskey reflects a thoughtful mingling of four different vintages from across the years, which builds on the success of Westward’s inaugural 2020 Sourdough release.
“At Westward, we are dedicated to our Sourdough lineage, and this whiskey is a proud addition to our Club release library,” said Westward Master Blender Miles Munroe about its third Westward Whiskey Club release of the year. “We have kept our members waiting for three years now, but we are confident this second edition was worth the wait.”
Westward x Ken’s Artisan Sourdough Whiskey – 2023 Vintage Blend is bottled at 90 proof and priced at $99.95. It is shipping now and available exclusively for Whiskey Club members.
