Made from 100 per cent Fritz variety barley grown in Washington’s Skagit Valley and smoked during the malting process with Washington-sourced peat, the limited-edition Single Cask No. 497 was matured for four years and three months in new American oak casks.
Jason Parker, founder president and co-founder of Copperworks Distilling Co, commented: “When we bottled our first batch of Peatsmith American Single Malt Whiskey, we set aside Single Cask No. 497 to continue maturing. After nearly a year of maturation, this rare release brings together the smoky, earthy peat and rich, smooth malt profile. It's bold, complex, and truly one of a kind.”
Tasting notes provided by the Copperworks Distilling Co say this release has notes of caramelized sugar and cake batter on the nose, followed by salted caramel and cinnamon-sugar graham cracker on the palate.
Copperworks American Single Malt Whiskey Single Cask No. 497 is bottled at 119.4 proof and available online in select states at the suggested retail price of $89.99.
