Copperworks – American Single Malt Whiskey Release 039 Salmon-Safe Certified (75cl)

Copperworks Release 039 is an American single malt, and the first whiskey bottled from Salmon-Safe grains. That certification covers farming practices that protect water quality and wildlife habitat. It was made from eight casks of whiskey distilled from the Genie variety of barley, and matured for 36 months in charred new American oak. The nose offers stewed fruit, ripe pear, red wine and pipe tobacco. On the palate come candied citrus peel, melon rind, smoked tea and cedar. The long finish brings mango, cinnamon and walnuts, ending on a slightly briny note.
