Catoctin Creek, a fun evening with The Virginia Rye Whiskey

A boutique rye experience with the master distiller and delicious bites at PKL

Catoctin Creek® was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009 as the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. The distillery is located in Purcellville, Virginia, in the heart of the Loudoun Valley. Virginia is the birthplace of American whiskey, and Catoctin Creek, faithfully dedicates themselves to that tradition, producing Virginia's most awarded whisky: Roundstone Rye!

The name "Catoctin" is a regional name. Pronounced Ka-TOCK-tin, the name derives from the Indian tribal name "Kittocton" which, legend has it, meant "place of many deer". Catoctin describes a range of mountains and the eponymous creek which flows picturesquely past the distillery and into the Potomac River and Chesapeake Watershed.

Catoctin Creek believes in high quality food and spirits. The distillery sources their grain and fruit from local sources, free of pesticides and chemical additives that would come through in the spirits they produce. The results are the finest, cleanest spirits possible, with the greatest attention to detail in every single bottle.

Meet Becky Harris, the master distiller, for a fun evening to learn about her amazingly awarded rye whiskies. PKL will be sure to serve up delicious bites. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enjoy a unique experience filled with beautiful rye, great company, and tasty food.
