First West Extra Aged 8 Years Whiskey (750ml)

Product Description

First West Extra Aged 8 Years Whiskey 750ml is the most mature and refined expression in the First West portfolio—curated by blackbook for drinkers who value time, balance, and classic barrel-driven depth. Aged a full 8 years in oak, this whiskey showcases what patience brings to the spirit: roundness, structure, and a seamless integration of wood, sweetness, and spice.

Extended aging allows the oak to fully develop notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted grain, and soft baking spice, while smoothing out sharper edges found in younger whiskeys. The result is a composed, sipping-focused whiskey that feels confident and complete—never rushed, never aggressive.

At blackbook, we prioritize age-stated whiskeys that actually taste like the years matter. First West Extra Aged 8 Years delivers exactly that: maturity you can feel in every pour.

Why You’ll Love It 

This is First West at its most refined. The 8-year aging brings depth and polish that makes this whiskey ideal for neat sipping, while still remaining approachable and balanced.

blackbook customers often choose this bottle as the “evening pour” in the First West lineup—richer and more contemplative than Small Batch, deeper and more integrated than Toasted Oak.
