Founded in 2009 by husband-and-wife duo Scott and Becky Harris, Catoctin Creek prides itself on tradition. Which makes sense, given it’s the first legal distillery since Prohibition in Virginia’s Loudoun County. The craft distillery is renowned for its award-winning, clean spirits.
The Catoctin Creek story doesn’t end there.
For the pronunciation police (no judgments), Catoctin is pronounced “Ka-TOCK-tin.” Derived from the Indian tribal name Kittocton, it translates roughly to “place of many deer.” If that doesn’t paint a mental picture of the Purcellville, Virginia, distillery where this 92 proof rye originates, then maybe you need another shot of whiskey.
100% rye grain
Nose Begins with mint, spice, and oak on the nose.
Palate Rich and warming tones of butterscotch and maple, with peppery spice throughout.
Finish Leather and oak notes linger on the palate.
