Catoctin Creek, Virginia

Catoctin Creek was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009, as the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition, bringing back more than 400 years of Virginia rye history in every bottle they make.  Catoctin describes a range of mountains and the eponymous creek which flows picturesquely past the distillery and into the Potomac River and Chesapeake Watershed.

At Catoctin Creek, they believe in high quality food and spirits.  They source their grain and fruit from local sources, free of pesticides and chemical additives that would come through in the spirits they products.  The results are the finest, cleanest spirits possible, with the greatest attention to detail in every single bottle produced.  A solar plant offsets about 85% of electrical usage in the distillery, and Becky is the Chief Distiller.
