Top 10 Rye Whiskies

When we think of October it’s mainly football, raking leaves, carving pumpkins, Halloween, drinking pumpkin ale, smoking a cohiba, hell even enjoying a spicy pumpkin latte if we’re  feeling crazy, but more importantly, October is all about pouring those spicy Rye Whiskies – our focus for Rye-tober!

Growing up in Ohio I grew to love some of Canada’s finest whiskies which included Canadian Club, Crown Royal, Black Velvet and Seagram’s VO.  These whiskies seemed easier to find than the Kentucky “bourbons” even though some of them shared a similar mash bill of grains and ryes.  However once I discovered Pikesville Rye (a Kentucky Rye), I couldn’t keep my private stash of Pikesville stocked full.  For those that don’t know there is an entire spectrum of rye whiskeys from 100% Rye on down. There’s Empire Rye, Indiana-Style Rye, Monogahela Rye, High Rye, Kentucky Rye, and even High Rye Bourbon to name a few.

To continue our Top 10 “theme” we are highlighting our Top 10 Rye Whiskies that we believe will compliment the Fall Season and our launching of our VA Distillery Series.  This month we are featuring Catoctin Creek Distillery, the distillers of multi-awarded Rye Whiskies.
