In celebration of Craft Malt Month this September, Copperworks Distilling Co. is proud to release a special bottling-- Craft Malt Month 2025 American Single Malt Whiskey. Copperworks will donate $10 from every bottle sold to the Craft Maltsters Guild, supporting its mission to sustain and promote craft malting traditions across North America. The Guild created Craft Malt Month to spotlight the connection between local agriculture and craft beverages, an ethos fully embodied in this limited Copperworks release.
"This whiskey is a single cask we held back from the lot used in our first-ever Farmsmith release, which won gold earlier this year at the American Craft Spirits Convention," said Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker.
Distilled from Baronesse barley, known for its exceptional quality and rich, malty flavor, grown at Joseph's Grainery (Colfax, WA) and malted by LINC Malt (Spokane, WA), this release (referred to behind-the-scenes as Single Cask No. 484) reflects the heart of the craft malt movement, local sourcing, strong farmer partnerships, and artisanal quality.
Craft Malt Month 2025 American Single Malt Whiskey started its journey alongside the eight casks used in Copperworks' Farmsmith release. While those casks were bottled after an initial maturation, this lone barrel continued aging. The result is a whiskey with remarkable depth and character that stands apart from its medal-winning siblings.
"At 4 years and 9 months, well over a year longer than the Farmsmith casks, this expression truly shows how extended maturation enhances complexity," said Copperworks Distilling Co. Vice President and Co-Owner, Jeff Kanof.
Tasting Notes from Copperworks Distilling Co.’s Jason Parker and Jeff Kanof
The nose offers pie crust, raspberry cheesecake, and candied orange, mingling with fresh wood and amber oil. On the palate, black cherry, dried mango, and orange marmalade complement coffee cake and cornbread, with a touch of ginger and light florality. A nuance of sweet cream laces the finish: a journey of freshly treated leather and sandalwood meeting black walnut, lemon custard, and grape must, finally leaving us with a trace of herbal cherry.

About Copperworks Distilling Company ~ 2018 Distillery of the Year
Opened in 2013, Copperworks Distilling Company is an award-winning craft distillery, tasting room, and gift shop located in the high-traffic waterfront tourist district of downtown Seattle. The distillery produces small-batch American Single Malt Whiskey, a series of gins, and vodka, all from malted barley. Copperworks was founded by co-owners/distillers Jason Parker and Micah Nutt ~ both craft brewers with more than 30 years of experience in the alcohol industry. They built the distillery to answer the question: “How would spirits taste if they were distilled from superior craft beer (without the hops) instead of the typical methods of ingredients of conventional distilleries?” The answer led Copperworks to become a pioneer in producing American Single Malt Whiskey, a fast-growing spirits category with substantial national and international market interest. Copperworks’ spirits are distilled in traditional copper stills that were specifically created in Scotland for the distillery, and for the distillation of each individual spirit. Copperworks’ high-quality craft spirits have been recognized with multiple national and international awards, and the company was named the 2018 Distillery of the Year by the American Distilling Institute. In addition, Copperworks’ whiskey and gin have won Double-Gold medals and scored 94 – 96 points in prestigious spirits competitions. Copperworks spirits are found on the shelves of bars, restaurants, and retail stores throughout Washington State. Copperworks also offers tastings, tours, and other events focused on enjoying and learning about fine distilled spirits, including its ‘hands-on’ single-malt whiskey blending workshop. Copperworks was voted Best Distillery in the 2023 Best In The PNW contest presented by The Seattle Times.
