Roundstone Rye is an incredibly unique rye whisky, made completely from scratch at the Catoctin Creek distillery in Purcellville, Virginia. All Catoctin Creek’s whiskies are made from 100% rye which is locally sourced and certified organic. The word Catoctin is derived from the Native American tribal name Kittocton, which translates roughly to mean “place of many deer.” The crown jewel of the Roundstone Rye core range, Catoctin Cask Proof is a biannual release of Catoctin Creek’s 100% rye whiskey, bottled without filtration and at cask strength. Made from the same mash bill, distillation profile, and new make coming off the still as the rest of the Roundstone rye range, Cask Proof sits at the top of the hierarchy when it comes to which barrels are chosen for this release. The nose is both soft and complex without any cask proof burn, the palate is both viscous and layered in complex flavours, and the finish is long, flavourful, and warming.
