Color Cask Trials

Once you sign up to participate in the Color Cask Trials, you will receive three 100ml samples to taste, decide which you think should be released, and cast your vote.

One bottle of the new Color Cask whiskey is included in the cost of the Color Cask Trials experience, making this your best opportunity to secure a bottle.

You’ll also have the option to join an in-person or virtual Color Cask Trials event to taste alongside your peers and Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker.

Two years ago we released our unique Color Cask American Single Malt Whiskey, made using an exceptionally rare 200-year-old cask with a storied history in the traditional world of sherry production.

We loved the whiskey from this historic cask after almost five years of primary maturation, but were also excited to discover what it could create as a finishing cask. We took nearly six-year-old whiskey distilled from our Original Five Malt Mash Bill and finished it in this special cask. Just 28 days later, we were blown away. The cask was still oozing with flavor and we were enjoying the result.

But we weren’t finished yet.

With the Color Cask being much larger than a standard 53-gallon American whiskey barrel, we had a significant amount of the Color Cask finished whiskey on our hands. Our next Color Cask exploration would be a gin (a tale for another time), so this would be our final Color Cask American Single Malt Whiskey, and we wanted to turn it into a truly unforgettable journey.

So, we used the whiskey to fill three different casks for a final maturation period, which continues to this day.
