Fans of unique barrel finishing will enjoy the two new expressions from Copperworks Distilling. The Seattle-based brand is releasing two special releases: Copperworks St. George Spirits Apple Brandy Cask Gin and Copperworks St. George Spirits Apple Brandy Cask Finished Whiskey.
Copperworks St. George Spirits Apple Brandy Cask Finished expressions
Both will be available this month, with the gin currently available and the Copperworks Whiskey Club Exclusive whiskey available to members beginning on February 23rd.
Copperworks St. George Apple Brandy Cask Gin isn’t your average gin. It was finished in a St. George Apple Brandy cask for one year and five months. According to the distillery, it features notes of cedar, crisp apples, juniper, apple butter, candied orange peels, sandalwood, clove, lemon, and fruit leather.
Copperworks St. George Spirits Apple Brandy Cask Finished Whiskey is made from pale malt and is matured for six years and five months in refilled Copperworks casks before finishing for one year and seven months in St. George Apple Brandy casks. According to the brand, the result is a multi-layered whiskey filled with flavors like honeysuckle, apple blossom, buttered cinnamon toast, pound cake, apples, caramelized pineapple, barley tea, tobacco, and cedar.
“It feels like we’ve known Head Distiller Dave Smith and Master Distiller Lance Winters forever, forging a friendship over innumerable encounters at conventions, expos, and hosting them at our distillery in Seattle,” Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker says.
“Having the opportunity to explore the possibilities of these two California Reserve Apple Brandy casks has been wonderful.”
