Welcome, Catoctin Creek

Catoctin Creek Distillery

Welcome to new festival sponsor Catoctin Creek®. Founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009, Catoctin Creek was the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. Virginia is the birthplace of American whiskey, and Becky and Scott faithfully dedicate themselves to that tradition, producing Virginia's most awarded whisky: Roundstone Rye!

"At Catoctin Creek, sustainability and supporting our local community have been baked into our company since day one," explains Scott. Their Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye, for instance, uses local honey from the Shenandoah Valley, and $1 from each bottle purchased is donated to local and national charities (like the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy) to protect the bees and foster natural habitats.

​Scott and Becky are no strangers to the Appalachian Trail. They've hiked sections of the A.T. since moving to the area 27 years ago. Their home is only five minutes from Bears Den, which is a favorite hiking spot for them. They also enjoy the hike to Raven's Rocks across Rte. 7. 

Thanks for supporting our festival and the A.T., Catoctin Creek®! (P.S. You can support the festival by bidding on a gift card for Catoctin Creek in our auction.)
