N: Super rich caramel-butterscotch-apple, dried leaves - in fact, this really just smells like a lovely fall afternoon - fresh cut vegetables, wet earth, wet grass (fresh cut), pineapple, coconut, floral notes, sugar-coated toasted nuts, fresh cut lumber, pinch of sawdust. It keeps going. This is one of the endless ones. P: Butterscotch, sweet earth and dried heather (peat), salted caramel frappuccino, malted grain reminiscent of a sweet porter beer, hints of tobacco and cigar smoke, dash of milk chocolate. Not as deep as the nose, but what's here is really nice. F: Butterscotch for days, earth, smoke, mint, rye grain, dark chocolate (with a hint of bitterness), toasted oak, smoked peanut butter (which really sounds amazing - please tell me someone makes this), char, mineral water, copper penny, very subtle hints of cinnamon and other baking spice. This is just damn lovely. Freaking delicious. It stands on its own - it's not a Scotch-style single malt and it's not really like other American single malts I've had. It is its own thing. The peat influence is very subtle, but noticeable - enough that I'm curious to try the exact same mash bill but without the peat to see the difference, if such a bottle were offered (I don't know). Long story short: this is a perfectly executed single malt that's crazy good and suggests the future of whiskey is (at least in large part) American single malt. I'm pretty excited about that. Seriously, go to Copperworks' website now and order something. I've enjoyed all three bottles I ordered and expect I'll order more. ____________ Please come join an unofficial Distiller community on Discord (now one whole year old!): https://discord.gg/VSmCvzAQfH.
