Catoctin Creek Rye Whisky Distillers Edition is a specially selected bottling of the well-known Roundstone Rye from the Catoctin Creek Distilling Company in Virginia, USA. The variant, known as the Distiller’s Edition, is personally curated under the supervision of Master Distiller and Company President Becky Harris. What sets it apart is the rigorous cask selection: according to the distillery, only one in ten casks qualifies for this version, which is bottled at 92 proof or 46 per cent. To this end, particularly interesting casks are selected from the Lager stock, whose character is suited to the higher alcohol content. The focus is on a more intense expression and greater aromatic depth, without losing the smoothness for which Roundstone Rye is renowned.


Catoctin Creek Distilling Company is one of America’s craft distilleries and, thanks to its comparatively small-scale production structure, is able to specifically select individual casks for special bottlings. The Distillers Edition was created following several years of planning and the deliberate ageing of suitable whisky casks. Becky Harris and co-founder Scott Harris developed the bottling partly in response to interest from whisky bars, customers and distribution partners in a bolder variant of Roundstone Rye. At 46% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, this American rye whisky from Virginia is aimed particularly at connoisseurs of characterful rye bottlings, where cask selection, a spicy rye profile and a higher alcohol content take centre stage.
