Copperworks American Single Malt Whiskey Craft Malt Month 2024

Craft Malt Month 2024 is here, and we're commemorating the occasion with a new single cask release. The Craft Maltsters Guild presents this annual celebration to highlight the deep connection between local agriculture and craft beverages. This year, Copperworks will donate $10 for every bottle sold to the Craft Maltsters Guild to support their mission of promoting and sustaining the tradition of craft malting in North America.

Production Notes:

We crafted Single Cask No. 145 from a barley varietal called Alba, grown by farmer Chris Knutzen of Knutzen Farms in Burlington, Washington. Skagit Valley Malting, a Craft Maltsters Guild member malthouse, malted the barley about an hour's drive away in Skagit Valley, Washington, before it closed in 2022. We handled the rest of the process—brewing, fermentation, distillation, and maturation—in Seattle. The whiskey matured for over eight years in a used bourbon cask before we bottled it at cask strength for Craft Malt Month 2024.

Tasting Notes:

Crystallized apricot in the glass, begins with aromas of sweet orange, leather, cigar wrapper, and apple. On the palate, there's considerable mouthfeel, accompanied by flavors of orange blossom honey, dried apricot, candied orange slices, and bittersweet amaro. The amaro note carries through the finish, joined by more leather, dried apricot, apple, and a touch of molasses. Enjoy neat, over ice, or as your whiskey of choice in a Paper Plane cocktail.
