Copperworks Distilling Co. has released Single Cask No. 97-2, a seven-and-a-half-year-old whiskey now available at its Seattle distillery. The bottling was crafted using single varietal Baronesse pale malt barley from Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax, Washington.

The Baronesse barley variety has an established record in the Copperworks portfolio. A previous Baronesse-distilled Farmsmith release earned gold at the 2025 American Craft Spirits Association Competition and then very quickly sold out.

The new Single Cask No. 97-2 was finished in the only French oak cask at Copperworks, which the distillery said makes it “an exceptionally rare offering.” It is bottled at 62.5% ABV (125 proof).

READ THE STORY

“This single cask will continue to mature after this distillery-exclusive experience, meaning guests are capturing a whiskey that won’t be found anywhere else and won’t taste quite the same ever again,” said Jason Parker, president and co-founder of Copperworks Distilling Co.

Copperworks is currently featuring Single Cask No. 97-2 as its hand-fill offering. Visitors use the distillery’s copper dipping dog to pull whiskey straight from the cask before sealing their bottle and filling out the cask details.

The release is available three ways. Guests visiting the Seattle distillery can pull their own whiskey using the copper dipping dog, then seal and label their bottle on-site. For those who prefer not to fill their own bottle, the Copperworks team will hand-fill on their behalf during any visit. Alternatively, Copperworks will hand-fill a bottle directly from the cask and ship it. Buyers can contact the team to arrange delivery.

Single Cask No. 97-2 is priced at $125, plus applicable tax and shipping.

The hand-fill experience takes place at Copperworks’ Seattle distillery and tasting room, located at 1250 Alaskan Way.

Copperworks was founded in 2013 by Jason Parker and Micah Nutt. The distillery is known for using brewing techniques and quality malted barley to produce its single malt whiskeys, and has built a reputation for experimenting with barley varieties and cask finishes across its single cask program.
