Westland Whiskey Releases 10-Year-Old Garryana American Single Malt

SEATTLE, October 17, 2025 – First released in 2015, Westland Whiskey's limited annual release of Garryana American Single Malt has achieved cult-like status over the past decade – including securing the #3 spot on Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies list in 2023 with the eighth edition. Today, the Westland team is thrilled to release Garryana American Single Malt 10^th Edition (100 Proof, 700ml, $149.99 SRP; 4,608 est. bottles) in Washington State (national release on October 27), reflecting a decade of aging in the rare Quercus garryana oak that is native to the Pacific Northwest. The first-ever age-statement whiskey from Seattle's leading American single malt producer, Garryana 10^th Edition reveals the extraordinary character and flavor that is distinct to the Pacific Northwest.

Exploration is at the heart of all that Westland produces as exemplified by the Garryana series, which has unfolded over the past 10 years with rich tones and spice notes. With the 10^th edition, Garryana reaches a pinnacle of unique spice profile unlike any other whiskey, thanks to the wood's rich flavor compounds.

"There is a magic to working with an oak species unique to our region. A shorthand for showcasing how Single Malt Whiskey makes sense here, from raw materials and climate to inspiration and collaboration," says Shane Armstrong, Westland's Master Blender who has led the Garryana series from the beginning. "Each edition seeks a supporting cast to concentrate or contrast. This release, our very first to boast an age statement, represents refinement over time, a small gesture to all those tasks tallied in service of something new."
