Copperworks Releases A New Batch Of Farmsworth Single Malt

Seattle-based Copperworks Distillery has released a second batch of its Farmsworth American Single Malt. Distilled from single varietal Genie Pale Malt from Coulee Hite farms in Reardan, Washington, and malted by LINC Malt in Spokane. This barley comes from a unique hot dry zone just west of Spokane. After distillation, the whiskey matured in four new American oak casks for five years and three months.

The previous Farmsmith release, distilled from Baronesse barley grown at Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax, took gold at the 2025 American Craft Spirits Association Competition before selling out completely. This new release continues Copperworks’ exploration of single variety, single farm, and single growing year Washington barley.

“We’ve only been able to source Genie Pale Malt from this hot dry zone once in our history,” said Copperworks President and Co-Founder Jason Parker. “That makes this release genuinely rare, not just limited, but unrepeatable. The terroir from Reardan’s growing conditions in 2020 is captured in these bottles.”

“The Farmsmith series lets us showcase what happens when you isolate every variable–single variety, single farm, single year,”  said Copperworks Co-Owner and Vice President Jeff Kanof. “This Genie Pale Malt spent over five years developing the kind of complexity you can only get from patience and exceptional Washington barley.”
