Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Cask Strength

The Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Cask Strength (aka Barrel Proof) version of Catoctin Creek’s ever-popular Rye whiskey is a very special expression.  Released at approximately 58% ABV (it varies depending on the individual barrels), this is seriously strong whisky!  Delicious, dark, complex and ridiculously smooth for the proof, Roundstone Rye Cask Proof is released only about twice per year so you need to grab it while you can. Then get the next one. And the next…. You know where we’re going with this don’t you.
