At the time, there were only three dozen craft distilleries in the U.S. Today, helmed by Founder \u0026amp; CEO Thomas Mooney, Westward is a proud leader among more than 2,200 producers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom humble beginnings to its impressive footprint today, creating a bold, robust, and delicious whiskey has remained the team’s true passion. For more than two decades, we’ve proudly served as a leading voice for American Whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR BREWING PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt Westward, we’re beholden to whiskey, not the traditions that surround it. This mindset -- to set whiskey free -- informs our process, where we brew like a craft ale, distill like a Single Malt, and age like a Bourbon. We pursue perfection by building flavor in every step of the way. There are no shortcuts in our long, deliberate process, and therein lies the beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe believe flavor is best built in the brewing process\u003c\/strong\u003e.
