Scott was going through his self-proclaimed mid-life crisis. His career as an IT engineer, although very successful, was no longer fulfilling and left him wanting more from his professional life. What was the cure? Leaving it all behind and opening a distillery, of course. His first challenge would be convincing his wife. Thinking this might be a momentary flight of fancy for Scott, Becky agreed on one condition, Scott had to write the business plan, prove it was a sound investment and secure the funds. To both of their surprise, Scott did it. So in 2009, with enough funds to get the business off the ground and a scrappy mentality, they successfully distilled, and quickly got into distribution, their whiskey, moonshine and gin. Since then, their spirit line-up has grown tremendously. Each of their products is expertly crafted using carefully selected grains and locally sourced fruits that are free of pesticides and chemical additives. All resulting in some of the finest, cleanest spirits possible. Cheers to Catoctin Creek!
