Copperworks Black is Beautiful American Single Malt Whiskey - Archive Release (750ml)

$40 from the sale of each bottle will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

Copperworks is proud to join over 1,000 breweries in the fight for change and racial justice, with our Black is Beautiful Whiskey release.

The Black is Beautiful initiative is a collaborative effort amongst the brewing community and its customers, to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily. Breweries were asked to brew a beer based on a recipe created by Weathered Souls Brewery out of San Antonio, with all proceeds of this unique brew then going to support African American communities and the continued fight for justice against police brutality.

While this initiative started as a call to action specifically to brewers, Copperworks asked to join the cause and the organizers were excited to have us involved!

Our friends at Garden Path Fermentation in the Skagit Valley brewed a mixed-fermentation Imperial Stout, part of which was aged in a Copperworks Whiskey cask. That cask was then returned to us, and used to finish this Copperworks Whiskey for 105 days. The finished whiskey was initially distilled from our Pale Malt recipe and matured for just over 3 years in charred new American Oak.

Tasting Notes: Slightly cloudy in appearance, thanks to the beer, the whiskey opens with aromas of grapefruit, pine, and hard cider. Hoppy citrus notes develop into delicious tastes of tamarind and raspberry, with a long finish of chocolate and sour cherry.Definitely try it neat, or in a citrus-forward classic whiskey cocktail such as a Whiskey Sour or Ward Eight.
