If you’re still looking for gift ideas this holiday season, Copperworks has two new expressions that are perfect for the whiskey fan. The popular Washington State-based distillery announced the release of Copperworks Color Cask and Copperworks Whidbey’s Port Cask.

Copperworks Color Cask American Single Malt Whiskey

It’s matured in a 200-year-old, extremely rare sherry-colored cask from Bodegas Argüeso winery in Cádiz, Spain. The result is a 100-proof single malt whiskey with flavors like dark chocolate, figs, brown butter, raisins, and leather.

“Knowing how special these casks were, we decided not to finish a whiskey in the cask but instead do a full maturation,” Copperworks Distilling Co. President and Co-founder Jason Parker said in a press release. “The whiskey was matured for just under five years, resulting in a rich and intense whiskey unlike any we’ve ever tasted.”

Distilled using Copperworks’ “Five Malt” recipe, it’s matured for a shade under seven years in refill American single malt whiskey barrels before being finished for seven months in a cask that previously held a local port-style wine called Whidbey’s Port. The result is a 100-proof single malt whiskey with flavors like candied orange peels, cinnamon candy, sarsaparilla, white pepper, and brioche.

The general public can pre-order them beginning on November 29. Color Cask American Single Malt Whiskey will be available for $149.99, and Whidbey’s Port Cask American Single Malt Whiskey will be available for $89.99.

In the pantheon of highly sought-after releases, it’s tough to beat the appeal of Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon. You might be wondering why a ten-year-old bourbon has such a rabid fanbase. It was tough to find for years as it was released in minimal quantities.

In addition, this single-barrel bourbon is well-known for its high-quality, nuanced flavor profile. That said, the folks at Michter’s just announced it was launching the 2025 batch of this beloved whiskey.
