Catoctin Creek Whisky Roundstone Rye Distillers Edition 92 Proof

Catoctin Creek Distilling's Roundstone Rye 92 proof is the culmination of several years of planning. After selecting some of the more interesting barrels from the back of the barn, Catoctin Creek released some at a higher proof.

It is a whisky specially curated for flavor, while still being remarkably smooth like the 80 proof Roundstone.

Nose: On the nose there’s grassy rye, butterscotch, sweet red fruit, lemon zest, a touch of alcohol burn, and a hint of oak smoke.

Palate: The palate smooth and semi-viscous with peppery rye grain and spice. This is followed by more red fruit, lemon zest, and smokiness. The longer you chew this the more the spice subsides to yield sweet butterscotch and tropical fruit.

Finish: The finish brings a wave of spice followed by smoky oak, caramel, warmth and an aftertaste of dried apricots and light aniseed.
