🚨🚨NEW PRODUCT ALERT 🚨🚨 Because of #COVID19, many restaurants in the DC Metro Area came under enormous financial hardship. As a result, they could not sustain the private barrels that they had chosen. We were able to ease their burden by taking back their barrels. 1/10

That was difficult for us to do, but we decided to spin this hay into gold.  We created an "infinity barrel" with the barrel selections combined into a new whiskey blend, and that whisky is unlike anything you will ever see again!

Announcing the Catoctin Creek Barrel Select #InThisTogether Rye Whisky, "An Infinity Barrel Benefit Project."

3/10

This rye whisky began life as our standard Virginia 100% rye whisky, and then was aged in a number of different barrels, including an American Chardonnay oak cask, an apple brandy cask, and an American Imperial Stout cask from @stable_craft Brewery in #Virginia. 

4/10

The various whiskies were mixed together and re-barreled and now bottled as a new expression!  The resulting whisky is complex, spicy and fruity, and absolutely stunning!!

During these difficult times, we are all truly #InThisTogether.  Therefore, 100% of all profits from these bottles will go to charities supporting out-of-work and struggling restaurants, bars, and their workers:
