House Spirits out of Portland, Oregon, has been a staple, and pioneer, in the craft spirits industry for a good number of years now. They are the original makers of Aviation Gin, which was sold off a few years ago before eventually grabbing headlines when famous actor Ryan Reynolds fell in love with the brand and became a partial owner. They are also the makers of Westward Whiskey, which has been forging its own path as being a standout American single malt whiskey, while also garnering an investment by Diageo-backed Distill Ventures. Many of the distillers at House Spirits come from a brewing background, so it isn’t a big shock to see this new expression of Westward Whiskey as an ode to the art of craft brewing.
