Copperworks Distilling Co. has announced its latest Whiskey Club release: an American Single Malt Whiskey with flavor all the way from Speyside, Scotland.
Copperworks Scotch Cask American Single Malt Whiskey began at the same place as the distillery’s award-winning inaugural Farmsmith release, at Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax Washington.
Distilled in 2019 from single varietal Baronesse barley pale malted at LINC Malting, this expression was matured in a cask previously used by Auchroisk distillery to mature Scotch whisky. Seven years and two months later, Copperworks is proud to present a handsome whiskey laced with the historic pedigree of Scottish single malt.
Nestled in the shire of Banffshire, Auchroisk distillery was constructed in 1972, with its first single malt bottles released forty years ago in 1986.
“Auchroisk has a rich history of producing non-peated Scotch whiskies in the Speyside region, which is known for smooth and approachable characteristics often in the fruity and floral spectrum,” said Copperworks Distilling Co. Co-Owner and Vice President Jeff Kanof. “Its unique distillation process is particularly known to produce a honeyed cereal quality that we are pleased to say has translated wonderfully in our new Scotch Cask release.”
“From the earliest days of Copperworks Distilling, we have looked to Scottish Single Malt Whisky distillers to learn and grow from, and our decision to commission custom copper stills from Forsyths of Scotland did not take long to make,” said Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker. “Finding ways to collaborate and create something new with inspiration from traditional methods has been a dream, and we couldn’t be more pleased to present this new release to the world.”
