Copperworks WA Peated American Single Malt R42

Release 042 was created from six casks of Washington State peated whiskey that were matured for more than five years. Each cask was brewed and distilled with 100% of the Copeland variety of barley that was grown in Washington’s Skagit Valley and then smoked during the malting process with peat from a lakebed on the Olympic Peninsula.

NOSE

Aromas present notes of vanilla bean paste, ripe passion fruit, and pineapple, enhanced by a subtle smokiness.

PALATE

The barrel influence shines through first in the flavor notes with an early entry of candied almonds and salted caramel, later developing into a complex of oak and tannins.

FINISH

The finish brings notes of pine sap, bread crust, and white pepper that trail into a fig jam and fruit leather.
