Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye 80 Proof

Roundstone Rye is a very unique rye whisky, made completely from scratch at our distillery in Purcellville, Virginia.  This pre-Prohibition style rye whisky is made from 100% rye grain, sourced locally when available.  It is mashed, fermented, distilled and aged completely in our distillery, before bottling it at a very sippable 80 proof.  Aged in new charred white oak casks for a period of around two years, the whisky is smooth, woody, with that full-bodied fruity-nutty grain flavour typical of a Virginia rye whisky. Roundstone Rye is a superb sipping whisky, a great whisky in Manhattans, or your favourite rye whisky cocktails. 

Nose: Vanilla pod, mocha and leather.

Palate: Warm banana bread leads into vanilla - reminiscent of Armagnac. There is a grapiness that is followed by cinnamon and peppery spices.

Finish: Cereal funk and spice finish full of oak and buttery caramel.
