ABOUT WESTLAND DISTILLERY
Westland Distillery, located in the heart of Seattle, encompasses 13,000 square feet housing two custom-designed pot stills dedicated to crafting distinctly Northwest-inspired varieties of American Single Malt Whiskey. Master Distiller Matthew Hoffman honors tradition by combining the Old-World ingredients of barley, water, yeast and oak, while making whiskeys that reflect Westland’s contemporary Pacific Northwest terroir. Working with historic single malt whiskey elements such as Sherry casks and peated malt, Westland works with local farmers, maltsters and academics to introduce new strains of barley to whiskey. Using a native variety of white oak, harvesting local peat and blending its spirits to ideas instead of product specifications, Westland’s whiskeys reflect the flavors and culture of the region.

ABOUT LA PALINA CIGARS
The story of La Palina Cigars began in the late 1800s, when Samuel Paley emigrated from the Ukraine to Chicago. Hired by a cigar factory to work as a lector—someone who read novels, magazines and newspapers to cigar rollers in the gallery—Paley’s interest in tobacco grew. In 1896, he opened his own cigar shop and factory, whose first product was La Palina, in honor of his wife. While that shop closed upon Paley’s death in 1926, his grandson Bill Paley inherited his family’s love of the finest things in life and sought to create a cigar emblematic of the original La Palina. Today, La Palina handmade cigars represent a marriage of the finest tobacco leaves blended by master artisans, rolled in tradition with unwavering quality and care. La Palina blends are smooth, well-rounded and elegant. Known for an easy draw, even burn and flawless construction, the La Palina offers an unforgettable experience.
