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.”
Copperworks Whidbey’s Port Cask American Single Malt Whiskey
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.
