Copper Fox Distillery Creates the USS Arkansas SSN800 Commemorative Christening Bottle
WILLIAMSBURG, Va., December 13, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Copper Fox Distillery was honored to be selected to create the USS Arkansas Commemorative Christening Bottle for the December 7th, 2024 ceremony. This very special single malt is the result of 5 years of aging and months of collaboration between Copper Fox Distillery and HII's Newport News Shipbuilding Division. Both executive officers & investors of Copper Fox attended the christening ceremony as honored VIP guests.
Arkansas is the U.S. Navy's 27th Virginia Class Submarine. Constructed under a unique teaming agreement between HII's Newport News Shipbuilding Division and General Dynamics Electric Boat, Virginia-Class Submarines, such as Arkansas, incorporate dozens of new technologies and innovations that increase firepower, maneuverability, and stealth, and significantly enhance their warfighting capabilities. These submarines are capable of supporting multiple mission areas and can operate at submerged speeds of more than 25 knots for months at a time.
"Travel Silent, Travel Deep"
This very special one-time release comes from 100% hand malted Virginia barley, dried with apple and cherry wood smoke. Double pot-distilled at a low 150 to 160 proof to enhance the fruitiness. Matured in former bourbon barrels with progressive infusions of toasted apple and oak wood chips.
