Copper Fox Distillery
Copper Fox Distillery[edit | edit source]
Copper Fox Distillery is a renowned distillery located in Sperryville, Virginia, United States. It specializes in the production of handcrafted, small-batch spirits using traditional methods and locally sourced ingredients. The distillery is known for its unique approach to whiskey-making, which involves the use of applewood and cherrywood smoke during the malting process.
History[edit | edit source]
Copper Fox Distillery was founded in 2005 by Rick Wasmund, a passionate distiller with a vision to create distinctive and flavorful spirits. Wasmund's inspiration came from his love for both traditional Scottish whisky and American bourbon. He aimed to combine the best of both worlds by incorporating innovative techniques into the production process.
Production Process[edit | edit source]
Copper Fox Distillery takes pride in its meticulous production process, which begins with the careful selection of locally grown barley. The barley is then malted in-house using a unique method that involves smoking it with applewood and cherrywood. This smoking process imparts a distinct flavor profile to the whiskey, setting it apart from traditional varieties.
After malting, the barley is mashed and fermented before being distilled in copper pot stills. The distillery uses traditional pot stills to ensure the highest quality and flavor extraction. The spirit is then aged in charred American oak barrels, allowing it to develop its rich and complex character over time.
Products[edit | edit source]
Copper Fox Distillery offers a range of handcrafted spirits, with their flagship product being the Copper Fox Rye Whisky. This whisky is known for its smoothness, balanced flavors, and subtle smokiness derived from the applewood and cherrywood smoke during malting.
In addition to their rye whisky, Copper Fox Distillery also produces a variety of other spirits, including single malt whisky, gin, and seasonal releases. Each product is carefully crafted to showcase the unique flavors and characteristics of the locally sourced ingredients.
