Located in Purcellville, Catoctin Creek Distilling carries on the tradition of Virginia distillers to produce their award-winning Roundstone Rye, “The Virginia Rye Whiskey.” Cultivated with locally sourced products, Roundstone Rye is made from 100% rye grain and aged for two years in newly charred white oak casks which provide the smooth, woody and full-bodied fruit-nutty grain flavor found in traditional Virginia rye whisky. This spirit leaves imbibers with notes of caramel and rich butter toffee with just a hint of lemon in the nose. From the distilling process and aging spirits in Virginia wood barrels, to the logo featuring Virginia’s state flower, Catoctin Creek Distilling has embedded Virginia tradition into their everyday.

From Virginia Distillery Co. in Lovingston, this award-winning whisky showcases the traditions of whisky-making around the world and the influence of our home in the New World. The spirit marries the distillery's own Virginia-made American single malt whisky with aged Scotch malt whisky. With each new release, Virginia Distillery Co. works with a local Virginia cidery, including Potter’s Craft Cider and Buskey Cider. The whisky finishes in these cider casks for an additional 8 to 20 months. Notes of vanilla, apple and pear are evident on the nose. On the palate, soft creaminess and sweetness from the malt mingle with caramelized wood sugars from the oak, pairing nicely with a touch of acidity from the cider barrel.
