Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009. I had the opportunity to sample this brand back in November, and I must admit that I’m not typically a fan of sweet whiskies or drinks. I found the samples…

Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bought a mini of this bourbon as I wasn’t sure I was going to like it and I’m very glad I did. Not because it’s a bad bourbon but, because I have plenty of other bourbons in my collection that simply rival this one if not are better. Nose: vanilla and tobaccoPalate: spices, rye, bitter…
