Angus, our West Highland Terrier, will always be a much-loved part of Launceston Distillery. At just eight weeks old, he began his lifelong connection with malt whisky at Nant Distillery before moving home to Launceston four years later.

When the opportunity arose to create something unique using whisky from both Launceston Distillery and Nant Distillery, it felt only fitting to honour Angus by showcasing him on this special release.

Now, the vatting of single malts from Launceston and Bothwell pays tribute to Westies. Full of character, loving, loyal, and independent, like all Westies, Angus brings joy to those around him. In the spirit of his companionship, this whisky is being launched during Tasmanian Whisky Week 2024. It is surely a dram to be enjoyed with friends.

The Westie Double Malt whisky is a marriage of single malts distilled at Launceston Distillery and Nant Distillery. It has been matured in French oak tawny casks and non-chill filtered to create its unique taste and depth of character. It features complex tawny-influenced flavours of fruit and spice, a hint of peat with fragrant aromas, and a smooth finish.
