John S. Mosby was a Civil War colonel and leader of a local band of rangers called Mosby's Raiders. Called the "Gray Ghost" for his elusiveness during the war, John S. Mosby was fiercely independent and ever loyal to his beloved Virginia. Catoctin Creek Mosby's Spirit recalls the tradition of clear grain spirits common in the 19th century. This spirit hearkens back to the fierce independence that forged our nation despite the conflict that almost destroyed it. Catoctin Creek Mosby's Spirit is a delicious rye grain spirit, some call it a "white whiskey", with a smooth, sweet and undeniably pleasing cereal taste with floral notes and citrus. If we aged this stuff, it'd be rye whiskey. But unaged, it is just as heavenly.

When you take our lovely Catoctin Creek Mosby's Spirit, and you age it in oak for a time, you end up with a very special rye whisky! The hardest of all whiskies to produce, rye whisky is an old time favorite that is new once again. It has a delicious woody taste, with notes of caramel, rich butter toffee, and just a hint of lemon in the nose. Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye is a great mixer in Manhattans, Cosmopolitans, and any recipe calling for Canadian or rye whisky. And unlike most rye whiskies available today, ours is never blended, only 100% pure organic rye. Delicious mixed, on the rocks, or neat. Try some this evening!

Brandy is an old world tradition--our continental European ancestors drank brandy after every dinner for its soothing and warming qualities. Imagine settling in with a nice glass of warm brandy, while sitting by a fire with your favorite novel. Or try adding it to a warm glass of eggnog. delicious! Catoctin Creek Virginia Brandy is made from the finest locally-grown Virginia wine grapes. It is distilled and aged in premium oak barrels for at least two years. Catoctin Creek Brandy is a fine sipping beverage unlike the run-of-the-mill brandies on the shelves today. Try some, and you'll see. This is fine stuff that warms the heart.

Paying respect to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, in which our beloved Catoctin Creek does flow, this gin is a bit of a watershed itself. Distilled from organic rye grain, with a secret recipe of organic herbs and spices, Watershed Gin is unlike any gin you've tried. Amazingly complex, with subtle citrus and cinnamon notes, essences of fresh cut hay, and of course a crisp juniper character make Watershed gin a fine cocktail mixer. Try it with the traditional tonic and a slice of lime (or a Meyer Lemon, for a real treat!). Or mix it into your favorite summertime refreshers.
