In celebration of Craft Malt Month (September), an annual celebration bringing the community together to honor the artistry and impact of craft malt, Copperworks Distilling Co. has unveiled Copperworks Craft Malt Month 2026 American Single Malt Whiskey (Single Cask No. 488).

Distilled from Baronesse barley grown at Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax, WA, and malted by LINC Malt in Spokane, the same barley varietal featured in Copperworks’ gold-medal-winning first Farmsmith release, this release marks a first for the distillery. Matured for 5 years and 9 months in a previously used rye whiskey cask, it is the first time Copperworks has released a whiskey matured in a rye cask, bottled at its natural cask strength of 63.2% ABV.

$10/bottle Donated to Craft Malsters Guild
Copperworks is proudly donating $10 for every bottle sold directly to the Craft Maltsters Guild to support their mission of promoting and sustaining craft malting traditions across North America.

About Copperworks Distilling Company ~ 2018 Distillery of the Year 
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 form 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 through 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 2023 Best In The PNW contest presented by The Seattle Times.
