UNIQUE WHISKEY

American single malt brand Westward has launched a world-first sourdough whiskey in Australia. A collaboration with award-winning Portland-based baker Ken Forkish, the spirit is delicious and very rare. It is made from scratch using two-row malted barley and Forkish’s sourdough levain with a blend of wild yeast cultures. I like my whisky neat for the first few sips, then I add a single small cube of ice to add a light chill and help release subtlety and more flavour as the ice melts. Previously only available to purchase in Oregon, Australia is the first place in the Southern Hemisphere where this spirit can be purchased. westwardwhiskey.com
