Copperworks PeatSmith, 50%

Price: 80 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
