About Copper Fox American Single Malt Whisky
The first US distillery to have a malt floor and kiln since the repeal of Prohibition, all grains for Copper Fox whisky are grown locally by one farmer. The barley is floor malted in a traditional manner. Instead of peat, local fruit woods are used in the kiln to gently smoke the grain. The only distillery in the world to age their whisky using toasted apple wood, which results in a complex and unique flavor experience, all Copper Fox whiskies are non-chill filtered and double pot-distilled at a low proof of 150-160 to further bring out the fruitiness.
Copper Fox American Single Malt Whisky is their signature offering, made from 100% hand malted Virginia barley. Dried with hand-cut apple wood and cherry wood smoke, it's aged in ex-bourbon barrels for up to 18 months and finished with toasted apple wood and oak chips. Bottled at 96 proof, the nose greets with rich aromas of suede, olive tapenade and honey while the palate is full of flavors of dried mango chutney, clay and fruity notes. This is a smoky, complex and balanced whisky, perfect for sipping on its own or for elevating any cocktail.

About Copper Fox
"The foundation of our product is Thoroughbred barley from our own private grower and used by no other distillery," says Rick Wasmund, the owner and master distiller at Copper Fox Distillery. Situated along the banks of the Thronton River in Sperryville, Virginia, Copper Fox Distillery was founded in 2000 after Wasmund returned to the United States following an internship at Bowmore Distillery. "Of course I'm proud of our innovations," adds Wasmund, "but I am keenly aware of the fact that I'm standing on the shoulders of a great many courageous, passionate and brilliant individuals and I try to be ever thankful for the trail they blazed."
About American Whiskey
There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don't fall into those two strictly regulated categories.
There's equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
And then there's moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
