Copperworks PeatSmith, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2024 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
Made with barley malted using peat harvested from Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, not far from the distillery’s Seattle base. A delicate nose presents aromas of cinnamon, lemon poppyseed, tree bark, and earthy malt. The texture is smooth, offering dark chocolate, cinnamon caffé latte, and musty oak. Lightly smoky and flavorful peat arrives at the back end. The finish explodes with spice and chocolate sweetness. Mellow and balanced overall, with very light peat
