‘Colere’ stems from the Latin verb, meaning ‘to cultivate’ – and Westland’s Colere 2nd Edition American Single Malt Whiskey purely embodies that.

A radical interpretation of Jägermeister, Manifest draws on the iconic brand’s original elixir, suffused with more than 56 herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits, and five extra intense macerates matured in oak barrels for up to 12 months. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s then blended with a wheat distillate, itself matured for 15 months in small oak casks. An alchemic coming together, the time-heavy creation boasts a final product as intricate and blissful as one would expect from the vast amount of hours behind it.
