Founded in 1982, St. George Spirits is America’s original craft distillery. We were founded as a dedicated brandy distillery, but over the last 40+ years have grown into one of most prolific and innovative craft distilleries in the nation. Today our portfolio includes a range of single malt whiskeys, gins, vodkas, brandies, liqueurs, absinthe, and other spirits. We have remained locally owned throughout our history, but our commitment to our craft has resulted in an international reputation for excellence—as well as 10 James Beard Foundation Award nominations, membership in the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame, and induction into the Spirit Journal Hall of Fame.

Catoctin Creek® was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009 as the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. We are located in Purcellville, Virginia, in the heart of the Loudoun Valley. Virginia is the birthplace of American whiskey, and at Catoctin Creek, we faithfully dedicate ourselves 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. At Catoctin Creek, we believe in high quality food and spirits. We source our grain and fruit from local sources, free of pesticides and chemical additives that would come through in the spirits we produce. The results are the finest, cleanest spirits possible, with the greatest attention to detail in every single bottle we produce. The Virginia Rye Whisky℠
