The Filson x Westland Distillery Coldfoot Whiskey is a new collaboration product from the American outdoor apparel brand and the Seattle-based distillery that will provide connoisseurs with a well-crafted spirit to try out.
The whiskey is inspired by the Klondike Gold Rush, which actually helped to launch the Filson brand and draws its name from a prospector's camp that's located in Alaska, just where the Arctic Circle begins. The high-quality spirit celebrates the tenacity of the 200 men of 2,000 who stuck it out to find their fortune in the harsh conditions.
The Filson x Westland Distillery Coldfoot Whiskey is reported to have a peaty profile that's low on sweetness with notes of marble rye, cacao, dried blueberry and even espresso.
