The Copperworks distillery, located on Seattle’s waterfront, meticulously crafts single malt whiskies, gins and vodka. Jason Parker and Micah Nutt, both craft beer makers, decided to establish their own distillery to explore the limits of malted barley by distilling craft beer into spirits. The distillery is equipped with four traditional stills, manufactured directly in Scotland and built specifically for them. In addition, there are large stainless steel fermentation tanks, weighing in at over 4,500 kg, which are required to produce the craft beers and subsequently the spirits. The distillery has been open to the public since 2013, offering a wide range of tasting sessions to learn about these exceptional spirits and enjoy them. These spirits can be enjoyed on their own or used to create subtle blends for cocktails.

A Copperworks 3 year old distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2010, matured in new oak casks. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by a group of friends with a particular passion for whisky. The club selects casks whose bottles are then only available to members. The name of the distillery is not mentioned on the label, but each distillery is given a number as the malt is bottled. The first cask selected by the SMWS, for example, was Glenfarclas, and it therefore uses the number 1. The second number refers to the number of bottlings from each distillery. The club was sold to Glenmorangie in 2004 and then to a group of investors in 2016. A limited edition of 163 bottles.
