‍✈️ WF052 to Virginia: Copper Fox Distillery - Malting floor, wood smoked malts, country distillery (G48:14)

Copper Fox Distillery (Sperryville, VA) WF052 You've heard of peat smoked Scotch...well, that's not what you're going to get at Copper Fox. Instead, the grains from the distillery's malting floor get their smoke infused with smoke from cherrywood, peachwood, and applewood. It's a unique take on smoke and it comes from distiller and founder Rick Wasmund's fascination with the wonderful scents these woods produce when burned. Join me as I visit one of the few malting floors in the country and learn which legendary Scotch distiller taught Rick the art of malting.
