Westward Whiskey Milestone Edition No. 4 American Single Malt is a premium expression from Westward's Milestone series, created to showcase the depth, character, and evolving possibilities of American Single Malt Whiskey.
Bearing the phrase “Legacy in the Making,” Milestone Edition No. 4 represents Westward's bold approach to malt whiskey. The bottle describes the whiskey as slow proofed in casks for uncommon depth of character, resulting in an intense yet composed expression designed for enthusiasts looking beyond traditional bourbon and Scotch categories.
Bottled at a robust 57% ABV (114 proof), Milestone Edition No. 4 delivers the concentration expected from a high-proof American single malt while maintaining the malt-driven character at the heart of Westward Whiskey.
Its striking faceted decanter, copper-toned closure, and black-and-copper presentation reinforce its position as a special expression within the Westward portfolio.

How to Enjoy
Milestone Edition No. 4 is ideally explored neat in a whiskey tasting glass. Give the whiskey several minutes to rest after pouring, particularly given its 114-proof strength.
After tasting it neat, add a few drops of room-temperature water. This can soften the alcohol intensity and reveal additional layers of malt, fruit, sweetness and spice.
A large cube can also work well for a slower, cooler pour, though enthusiasts seeking the fullest expression of the whiskey will generally want to experience it neat first.
Why American Single Malt Drinkers Should Know It
American single malt offers a distinctly American interpretation of malt whiskey, and Westward has built its identity around this category. Milestone Edition No. 4 takes that malt-focused foundation into a more elevated, high-proof presentation.
For drinkers accustomed to single malt Scotch, high-proof bourbon, cask-strength whiskey, craft American whiskey, or limited-edition malt releases, Milestone offers an opportunity to explore the character of premium American malt whiskey through Westward's Oregon perspective.
