In honor of its first birthday, Copperworks Kenmore is celebrating all weekend long—Oct. 18-19. The cocktail bar and tasting room is an offshoot of Seattle-based Copperworks Distilling Co.
Cask Finished Manhattan Event | Friday, October 18, 2024 | 2 pm – 9 pm (during regular Friday business hours)
Located directly on the Burke Gilman bike trail, the cocktail bar and tasting room (with outdoor seating under white string lights) will unveil its new cask finished cocktail program by tapping a cask finished Manhattan. Copperworks created the Manhattan with a single cask whiskey that matured in the same cask now used to finish the cocktail! Alongside the single cask whiskey, Copperworks crafted the Manhattan with broVo Jammy Sweet Vermouth (from nearby Woodinville) and Scrappy’s Bitters (from Seattle).
The official tapping time is 6:30 p.m.
COCKTAIL
Guests will then have an opportunity to enjoy a Copperworks Kenmore one-minute-old cask finished cocktail, which they can return to in the future to see how it changes as it rests in the cask over time.
FLIGHTCopperworks will serve a limited-time Manhattan flight featuring its new whiskey lineup of three ongoing releases (Maltsmith, Farmsmith, Peatsmith) alongside this cask finished creation.
SPECIAL RELEASE | Copperworks Kenmore Turns 1 Single Cask Whiskey
The award-winning distillery will bottle a portion of the whiskey used in the cask finished Manhattan and is selling it as a Kenmore exclusive* single cask release.
The bottles will be on hand for sale at Copperworks Kenmore beginning Oct. 18. Priced at $89.99 + tax.
*(Note: Copperworks First Cut members get first dibs on purchasing special releases and they will have access to this latest release beginning Oct. 11.

“We are thrilled to celebrate our first anniversary with the community,” said Copperworks Distilling Co. co-owner and president Jason Parker. “We’ve spent the last year hard at work fine-tuning the space and training up a staff we are proud of. Additionally, we’ve cultivated a fantastic partnership with De La Soil, who will be bringing a farm-to-kitchen concept to Copperworks Kenmore in the not-too-distant future. They shall also be featuring delicious food offerings all weekend long out of their renowned pop-up kitchen!”
Outlanders Opry | Saturday October 19, 2024 | 5 pm until late
Copperworks Kenmore welcomes the Outlanders Bluegrass Progressive Social Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the broader genre of acoustic music through jams, education, and shows, for the group’s fourth Outlanders Opry.
