February 24, 2026 - Award-winning Copperworks Distilling Co. has released a new Farmsmith American Single Malt Whiskey, distilled from single varietal Genie Pale Malt from Coulee Hite farms in Reardan, Washington, and malted by LINC Malt in Spokane. This barley comes from a unique hot dry zone just west of Spokane. After distillation, the whiskey matured in four new American oak casks for five years and three months.

The previous Farmsmith release, distilled from Baronesse barley grown at Joseph's Grainery in Colfax, took gold at the 2025 American Craft Spirits Association Competition before selling out completely. This new release continues Copperworks' exploration of single variety, single farm, and single growing year Washington barley.

"We've only been able to source Genie Pale Malt from this hot dry zone once in our history," said Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker. "That makes this release genuinely rare, not just limited, but unrepeatable. The terroir from Reardan's growing conditions in 2020 is captured in these bottles."

"The Farmsmith series lets us showcase what happens when you isolate every variable--single variety, single farm, single year,”  said Copperworks Co-Owner and Vice President Jeff Kanof. "This Genie Pale Malt spent over five years developing the kind of complexity you can only get from patience and exceptional Washington barley."

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with fresh butter leading into a harmonious blend of maple bar and cedar chest. On the palate, we find notes of coffee and cocoa nib mingling with cherry, orange creamsicle, and pineapple, on a foundation of graham cracker and vanilla. The finish brings a luxurious blend of leather, cinnamon stick, and black pepper, sweetened with a trace of toffee.TO PURCHASE

About Copperworks Distilling Company
Opened in 2013, Copperworks Distilling Company is an award-winning craft distillery, tasting room, and gift shop located in the high-traffic waterfront tourist district of downtown Seattle. The distillery produces small-batch American Single Malt Whiskey, a series of gins, and vodka, all from malted barley. Copperworks was founded by co-owners/distillers Jason Parker and Micah Nutt ~ both craft brewers with more than 30 years of experience in the alcohol industry. They built the distillery to answer the question: “How would spirits taste if they were distilled from superior craft beer (without the hops) instead of the typical methods of ingredients of conventional distilleries?” The answer led Copperworks to become a pioneer in producing American Single Malt Whiskey, a fast-growing spirits category with substantial national and international market interest. Copperworks’ spirits are distilled in traditional copper stills that were specifically created in Scotland for the distillery, and for the distillation of each individual spirit. Copperworks’ high-quality craft spirits have been recognized with multiple national and international awards, and the company was named the 2018 Distillery of the Year by the American Distilling Institute. In addition, Copperworks’ whiskey and gin have won Double-Gold medals and scored 94 – 96 points in prestigious spirits competitions. Copperworks spirits are found on the shelves of bars, restaurants, and retail stores throughout Washington State. Copperworks also offers tastings, tours, and other events focused on enjoying and learning about fine distilled spirits, including its ‘hands-on’ single-malt whiskey blending workshop. Copperworks was voted Best Distillery in the 2023 Best In The PNW contest presented by The Seattle Times.
