A partnership with Filson (an Seattle-based outdoor gear company founded in 1897), Coldfoot was another blend of the original Westland grainbills (Five Malt, Pale Malt, Peated) and casks types (ex-bourbon, new American oak, oloroso sherry). Each bottle was packaged in a Filson canvas bag tied with a strip of leather.
As part of the promotion, Filson released a series of co-branded t-shirts, caps, stickers, a pullover hoodie, and a stoneware shot glass. Release events were held at Westland (February 21, 2020) and at three Filson stores: Portland (February 27, 2020), Boston (March 12, 2020), and New York (March 19, 2020).

From the Distillery
- "The first edition of Coldfoot American Single Malt commemorates the spirit of exploration and those places where independent paths come together to revel in the journey. Combining several signature elements of Westland’s house style into one bottle, this whiskey marks a moment in time and serves as a milepost in an ongoing expedition into the unknown possibilities of single malt whiskey in America."
- Tasting Notes
- Flavor Profile: "On the nose dried apple slices and walnuts lead before dessert notes of waffle cone and whipped cream join in. The palate is rich and complex with more creaminess, dried blueberry, and cacao but also deeper notes of marble rye and espresso."
