Meet Copperworks’ newest face, Jeff Kanof.

For some reason, Jeff wanted to make Friday the 13th his SECOND day on the job. And he’s been a huge help even before he officially joined the team. We’re thrilled to welcome him on board.

By his own admission, Jeff is a recovering attorney — having left his law firm job in New York City for the Northwest to focus on his passion for fine spirits. Upon arriving in Seattle, Jeff cut his teeth in the Washington distilling scene by helping to launch Letterpress Distilling.

Always an avid beer fan, Jeff spent a month in Belgium seeking out some of the world’s best beers. From there, his interest in complex flavors and craftsmanship led him to explore American whiskey. Countless bottles later, coupled with his first visit to the legendary cocktail bar Milk and Honey, Jeff realized that he had fallen in love with spirits and the art of mixing drinks.

Jeff joined the Copperworks team in time to help Jason and Micah bottle the very first batch.
