This week we welcome Master Distiller Becky Harris from Catoctin Creek to the show to talk all things Virginia whiskey! We go through not just the history of Catoctin Creek but Becky takes me through the history of whiskey in Virginia! It is a fantastic conversation filled with whiskey history, whiskey production and of course good people sharing pours! We dive into some delicious Catoctin Rye starting at the 80 proof and working our way up to the cask proof! We do a deep dive what makes this rye stand out and what separates it from other ryes on the shelf all while drinking through some goodness and having a damn good time! So get ready because it’s the first Bourbon Showdown of the New year and I can’t think of a better way to start the year than with a pour of amazing whiskey! So lets go to Virginia on this weeks Bourbon Showdown podcast!
