In 2015, Matt's work was awarded Whiskey of the Year by the American Distilling Institute, and in 2018, Whisky Magazine named him Master Distiller/Blender of the Year at its annual Icons of Whisky America awards ceremony. Listen and learn how Matt, after completing graduate studies in brewing and distilling at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, returned to his native Pacific Northwest, opened Westland Distillery, and started realizing his whiskey vision.
