Fermented Adventure The Podcast

This episode features ⁠Becky Harris⁠ of ⁠Catoctin Creek Distilling Company ⁠. Becky and Scott founded Catoctin Creek in 2009. At the time there were about 200 distilleries in the United Sates and 6 in Virginia. They began with a vision of making rye whiskey which was "the whiskey" up until prohibition in the Mid-Atlantic States. At Cotoctin they use batch pot still distillation. This is the key to deriving the most flavor from the rye grain. In the beginning it was difficult to get farmers to take a chance on this little craft distillery. Today those farmers are glad that they did. Catoctin produces some of the finest rye whiskey's. Combine that with the delicious cocktails in the tasting room and you have a recipe for continued growth and success. We enjoyed our fascinating conversation about history, the spirits industry and Catoctin Creek Distilling.   120 W Main St, Purcellville, VA 20132 - ⁠(540) 751-8404 - www.CatoctinCreekDistilling.com - ⁠Facebook⁠ Highlights from our discussion: Ever
