The vision is nearly fully realized along the Burke-Gilman Trail in Kenmore
Have you heard about Copperworks Tavern? It’s an expansion of the Copperworks Distilling location in Kenmore, Washington, where the company already operates a multi-concept gathering space and cocktail bar: Copperworks Barrel House and De La Soil farm-to-table restaurant. As the word tavern implies, Copperworks Tavern will also serve beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages.
The expansion will double the company’s footprint at the Kenmore location. The new addition introduces Copperworks Tavern and Whiskey Garden alongside Ember BBQ, a new globally-inspired barbecue restaurant from Chefs Cody and Andrea Westerfield of De La Soil. It will open soon and they are offering an opportunity for you to join the Tavern’s Founders Club.
A Familiar Address
If you’re a beer fan, you will recognize the Copperworks Tavern location as the former home of 192 Brewing’s Lake Trail Taproom. Beyond the address, and the basic structure, how much you’ll actually recognize remains to be seen. The distiller opened its Kenmore location, in the space next door to the Lake Trail Taproom, about three years ago, and now the ultimate transformation is nearly complete.
“For the past three years, we have watched Copperworks Kenmore grow into a community gathering place, becoming a hub filled with weekly events, pop-up markets, live music, dance nights, an annual Plum Festival, Oktoberfest festivities, farm-to-table fare, special chef dinners, Copperworks cocktails and spirits, and much more,” said Jason Parker, president and co-founder of Copperworks Distilling Co.
“It has been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be expanding into our new Copperworks Tavern space to continue growing what makes Copperworks Kenmore so special,” said Jeff Kanof, vice president and co-owner of Copperworks Distilling Co.
“We couldn’t build this without each and every one of you, and are so grateful for every shared smile, kind words after a live performance, and outlandish trivia team name,” added Parker. “The opportunity is available to all fans of Copperworks Distilling, not just those local to Kenmore, Washington!“

Introducing Single Cask No. 003-2 (10-Year American Single Malt Whiskey)
To create an exclusive release for Founders Club members, Copperworks drew from some of its oldest whiskey stock and selected Cask 003-2. Distilled from the distillery’s original Five Malt recipe (the same recipe behind Maltsmith), this whiskey was matured for 10 years in a previously used Copperworks American Single Malt Whiskey Cask, a historic cask that originally held spirits used in Copperworks’ legendary Release 001. Bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV), it delivers rich intensity on the palate while highlighting delicate, layered aromas.
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with golden apple, soft wood, and custard, followed by heather and black tea. On the palate, caramelized honey and angel food cake mingle with apple skin, stewed pear, and wildflower. The finish brings toasted cereal grains and suede, layered with jackfruit, pink peppercorn, fresh mint, and cocoa nib.
