About Copperworks Distilling Company:

Named “2018 Distillery of the Year” by the American Distilling Institute.
“The Copperworks distillery is something of a rare phenomenon: a business that is both of the moment and one to keep an eye on in the future.”

— Dom Roskrow, Whiskey America
Copperworks Distilling Company is a craft distillery, tasting room and gift shop located on the waterfront in downtown Seattle. We also have a cocktail bar and tasting room located in the community of Kenmore, WA. We produce small-batch American Single Malt Whiskey, a series of gins, and vodka, all from malted barley.
Copperworks was founded by co-owners/distillers Jason Parker and Micah Nutt—both experienced craft beer makers, who built Copperworks to explore the possibilities of malted barley by distilling high-quality craft beer (without hops) into fine spirits.

Our spirits are distilled in traditional copper stills that were specifically created in Scotland for Copperworks and for the distillation of each individual spirit. We focus on creating distilled spirits that can stand impressively on their own or serve as a delicious base for new and classic cocktails.

Copperworks opened its doors in 2013 offering tastings, tours, and other events focused on enjoying and learning about fine distilled spirits. The company has won numerous local, national and international awards. Copperworks spirits are found on the shelves of bars, restaurants, and retail stores through Washington State.
In 2023 Copperworks opened a cocktail bar and tasting room in Kenmore, WA.

Buzzard’s Roost Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey

Buzzard’s Roost Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey 57%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About Buzzard’s Roost Spirits:

Buzzard’s Roost Spirits is a woman-led independent whiskey blender and bottler founded in 2019 by Judy Hollis Jones and Jason Brauner. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the brand is renowned for its "barrel alchemy," using proprietary secondary maturation techniques to create unique flavor profiles in sourced bourbons and ryes.

Core Crafting Techniques

• Proprietary Barrels: They use Independent Stave Company barrels featuring Char #1—a light char level that allows easier access to the oak's influence.
• Seasoned Oak: The oak for their barrels is seasoned for at least 18 months, significantly longer than the industry standard of six months, to intensify flavors.
• Custom Toast Profiles: They employ specific toasting levels to "coax out" rare flavor combinations like confectionery and baking spices.

   

Primary Products

The portfolio centers on double-oaked expressions, typically bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company.

• Bourbons: Includes the Signature Double Oak ($45.99), Barrel Strength Bourbon ($79.99), and Char #1 Bourbon ($64.99).
• Ryes: Popular releases include the Toasted Barrel Rye ($71.99) and the award-winning Single Barrel Rye.
• Specialty Spirits: They offer unique bottlings like Cigar Blend Bourbon, Smoked Barrel Rye, and Bottled in Bond expressions.

Maker’s Mark Gold Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Maker’s Mark Gold Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Limited Edition Old Style Sour Mash 50.5%-ABV, 700ml bottles.

About Maker’s Mark:

Maker’s Mark is a small-batch, wheated bourbon whisky distilled at the Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. Founded in 1953 by Bill Samuels Sr. and his wife Margie, the brand is famous for its hand-dipped red wax seal and its unique decision to use soft red winter wheat instead of rye in its mash bill to achieve a smoother, sweeter flavor profile.

The Maker’s Mark Difference

• Wheated Mash Bill: While most bourbons use rye for spice, Maker’s Mark uses 16% soft red winter wheat, which provides a creamy, front-of-palate sweetness with notes of vanilla and caramel.
• Handcrafted Traditions: Every bottle is still hand-dipped in red wax (a trademarked look), and every barrel is rotated by hand in the warehouse to ensure consistent aging.
• Spelling Legacy: It is one of the few American brands to use the Scottish spelling "whisky" without the "e," a tribute to the Samuels family's Scots-Irish heritage.
• Sustainability: As a certified B Corp, Maker’s Mark emphasizes regenerative agriculture and maintains its own limestone-filtered water source at Star Hill Farm.

   

Product Lineup

• Classic Maker’s Mark: The original 90-proof bourbon known for being approachable and smooth.
• Maker’s Mark 46: The first major new expression, finished with seared French oak staves for a bolder, spicier profile.
• Cask Strength: The original recipe bottled at its natural proof, typically between 108 and 114 proof.
• Cellar Aged: The distillery's oldest release, featuring a blend of whiskies aged up to 14 years in a limestone cellar.
• Wood Finishing Series: Annual limited releases, such as the 2026 Stewards Release, which use custom stave profiles to amplify specific flavors.

   

Visiting the Distillery

Located on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the distillery is a National Historic Landmark.

• Location: 3350 Burks Spring Rd, Loretto, KY.
• Experiences: Visitors can book the Classic Maker’s Mark Tour (approx. 75 minutes) or participate in a bottle-dipping session to wax their own purchase.
• Dining: Star Hill Provisions offers farm-to-table cuisine, while the Homeplace Bar serves seasonal cocktails.

About Glenfiddich:

Glenfiddich is the world's best-selling and most-awarded single malt Scotch whisky distillery. Located in Dufftown, Speyside, it remains one of the few major distilleries to be entirely family-owned and operated by the descendants of its founder, William Grant.

History and Heritage

• Founding (1886-1887): William Grant built the distillery by hand with the help of his seven sons and two daughters. The first drop of spirit flowed from the copper stills on Christmas Day, 1887.
• Meaning of Name: "Glenfiddich" is Scots Gaelic for "Valley of the Deer," which is represented by the brand's iconic stag logo.
• Industry Pioneer: In 1963, Glenfiddich became the first distillery to actively market and export single malt Scotch internationally, creating the global category for single malts as we know it today.
• Visitor Center: In 1969, it was the first Scottish distillery to open an official visitor center.

   

Production and Scale

• "The Giant": Known by this nickname due to its massive annual production capacity of approximately 21 million liters.
• Water Source: Every drop of Glenfiddich is made using water from the Robbie Dhu Spring, which flows near the distillery.
• Traditional Methods: Despite its size, Glenfiddich maintains an on-site cooperage to build and repair its own casks and employs its own team of coppersmiths to maintain its 43 uniquely shaped copper pot stills.
• Marrying Process: Glenfiddich is the only single malt that still "marries" its whiskies in large oak marrying tuns for up to nine months to ensure a consistent flavor profile.

   

Core Range and Notable Expressions

• Glenfiddich 12 Year Old: The signature "Our Original Twelve" is matured in American and European oak casks, known for a fresh, fruity profile with notes of pear and honey.
• Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve: Finished in charred new American oak barrels, it bridges the gap between Scotch and bourbon with flavors of toffee and vanilla.
• Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve: Created using an innovative Solera Vat (inspired by sherry production) that is never fully emptied, resulting in a rich, spicy, and complex character.
• Glenfiddich 18 Year Old: A more refined expression married in small batches, offering deeper notes of dried fruit and baked apple.
• Experimental Series: Includes unique releases like the IPA Cask Finish (finished in craft beer casks) and Winter Storm (finished in French oak ice wine casks).

About Pine Bluffs Distilling:

Pine Bluffs Distilling is a family-owned craft distillery in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, known for its "grain-to-glass" approach using 100% locally grown Wyoming grains. Founded in 2017, it was the first licensed distillery in Laramie County.

• Waste Reduction: Spent distiller's mash and grain remnants are given to local ranchers and farmers to feed livestock, such as goats and chickens.

   

Signature Spirits

The distillery produces a wide range of spirits, many of which have won national awards for their quality and unique flavor profiles.

• Straight Rye Whiskey: A Double Gold winner at the 2025 American Distilling Institute International Spirits Competition, noted for its robust and spicy profile.
