Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye – Distiller's Edition
92 proof
NAS
Rye
Catoctin Creek
Purcellville, VA
100% rye
Nose
Butterscotch with youthful oak notes, fruity hints, and anise/licorice character. Pleasant but slightly woody.
Palate
Sweet and smooth across the palate with spice on the sides and back of tongue rather than the middle. Vanilla cream character with oily, buttery mouthfeel that dissipates quickly. Not chill-filtered.
Finish
Medium finish with oak notes and slight chalkiness creating a drying quality. Outperforms the front of the palate.
Agreeable
A well-crafted rye with earthy character and a stronger back-palate that justifiably earned its awards, though slightly disjointed between nose and palate.
