Introducing Catoctin Creek Cask Proof Roundstone Maple Syrup Barrel Finished Rye Whisky, a truly unique and indulgent expression that pushes the boundaries of whiskey craftsmanship. Produced by the renowned Catoctin Creek Distillery, this whisky combines the robust flavors of rye with the luscious sweetness of maple syrup, creating an extraordinary sensory experience.
Catoctin Creek Cask Proof Roundstone Maple Syrup Barrel Finished Rye Whisky begins with their signature Roundstone Rye, a high-quality rye whisky made from 100% locally sourced rye grains. The whisky is then carefully aged in charred new oak barrels, allowing it to develop its rich and complex character.
But what sets this expression apart is its unique finishing process. After the initial aging, the whisky is transferred to barrels previously used to age maple syrup. This innovative approach imparts a distinctive maple sweetness and subtle wood influence, elevating the whisky to new heights of flavor.
On the nose, the whisky entices with the rich aroma of warm rye spice, toasted oak, and a gentle hint of caramel. As you take your first sip, you'll be greeted by a symphony of flavors. The spicy and peppery notes of rye are complemented by the luscious sweetness of maple syrup, creating a harmonious balance on the palate. Subtle hints of vanilla, toffee, and toasted wood round out the experience, adding depth and complexity.
