Copperworks Peated

Copperworks Peated

Copperworks Distilling has eschewed the normal distillery commercial standard by having a limited product offering but achieving uniformity between batches. Rather, the distillery has leaned purposefully into crafting each release as a limited, distinct expression that allows them to explore the subtle nuances that differences of grains, yeasts and cask aging can provide, while still holding onto some house styles. The Copperworks Peated is their 34th release, and is made from eight casks of whiskey that were aged for a little over four years, with Washington barley smoked using Washington peat, a first for the distillery. Copperworks has since signaled it will distill peated whiskies on an annual basis.

Copperworks American Single Malt

Copperworks American Single Malt

Copperworks Distilling was founded in 2008 by Jason Parker and Micah Nutt in Seattle, both of whom have a background in brewing. The first number of years were spent learning about various elements of the craft spirits distilling via their work with gin and vodka, which they then used to inform their whiskey production. They are currently releasing their whiskey in individual batches, wherein each release has its own personality. Eventually the goal is to use this variety – along with the time to continually create and lay down stock – to hone in on a flagship release with core profile. They are active in the broader whiskey community in the United States and are at the forefront of regulatory standardization through their membership in several trade groups.
