“I was gifted a bottle of Catoctin Creek’s rye whiskey a couple years ago. I have loved the bottle myself, and it has been a favorite of those I share a glass.I had the opportunity to visit the distillery a couple weeks ago, and had a fun, but interesting experience. When my friend and I showed up, we were sat, and also notified that the tour we signed up for may not be a tour they were offering. We were a bit confused since we signed up on the website before arriving, but we’re pretty good with the flow people and was okay with whatever was offered in terms of a tour.Their distillery is small, and this translates to the tour experience. It’s short and straight to the point of the facts of their distilling process. The tour itself was slightly awkward, but there were factors outside of the distillery’s control that contributed to this. We were also reminded during the tour and after the tour, that the tour itself was free. We were provided with the fact that the distillery was woman-owned, which made me even happier to continue to support such a quality local product.After the brief tour, you are sat back at the bar or sitting area for your flight tasting. There was some slight confusion on the flight considering the flight was pre-purchased online prior to the tour. The flight tasting experience we received was interesting. Our tour guide was very friendly and spoke with my friend and I almost exclusively after the tour. We were thanked for our attitudes during the tour as she’s had other unpleasant experiences with people. Our chat was fun but overall slightly uncomfortable at times. It almost felt like she was trying to bartend, when I’m not sure that is what was needed.The whiskey flight itself was phenomenal. My buddy and I specifically wanted to try their Hot Honey Rye. The honey was very evident in the sip, and complimented the spirit in a way I wasn’t expecting. Their gin was also delicious, and I’m not much a gin drinker myself.Overall I am grateful for the experience to visit Catoctin Creek and to continue supporting their product.”

“Just what you would expect from a Virginia ABC. Extra points for additional products of different sizes... I did not find a few things that I would typically find in the ABCs near where I live... I also think that prices were slightly higher than Fairfax.”
