American whiskey Westward has entered a new agreement with Australian distributor Think Spirits to be its exclusive distribution partner in the country from 1 October.

Westward joins Think Spirits current portfolio of sprit brands, including Stolichnaya Vodka, Casamigos Tequila, Dalmore Scotch Whisky, Stolen Rum, and Seedlip.

Founder and CEO of Westward Whiskey Thomas Mooney said the partnership with Think Spirits will enable the whiskey to reach even more Australians throughout the country.

“Given our success, continued demand, and growth in Australia, partnering with a leading independent distributor of popular and premium spirits is the logical next step to support expansion in this thriving market,” he said.

“Aussie consumers and trade industry professionals know great whiskey, and we're thrilled by their enthusiasm for Westward American Single Malt.”

Westward is currently available in a number of bars and restaurants in Australian capital cities and can also be found in independent liquor stores and Vintage Cellars.
