Oregon-based American Single Malt distillery, Westward Whiskey have released a limited-edition single-barrel release, with 100% of proceeds going to support minority and black-owned business.
MISO, which stands for the Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon, is a Portland-based non-profit that is dedicated to improving the economic opportunities for underserved individuals through empowerment, education and entrepreneurship.
The release is part of Westward’s commitment to provide opportunities for our community to join the fight against racism, and in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
The barrel, chosen by head distiller Miles Monroe, is the distillery’s thousandth barrel of whiskey. It has been aged for three and a half years and has been bottled at 100% proof. All bottles have been hand signed by Miles and the brand’s founder Christian Krogstad.
