6:30pm, The Smoke Shop BBQ – Assembly Row

Featured Distiller: Catoctin Creek Distillery

Price: $70

Join us for an exceptional evening with Catoctin Creek’s co-founder and distiller, Scott Harris, at our upcoming whiskey dinner! Scott is at the forefront of Virginia’s craft distilling renaissance, bringing traditional craftsmanship and innovation to every bottle since 2009.

During this exclusive event, Scott will lead us through a guided tasting of three signature offerings from Catoctin Creek:

• Roundstone Rye 80 – This approachable, smooth rye is crafted with care and aged to perfection, showcasing notes of warm spice, caramel, and subtle vanilla. Its 80-proof expression balances bold rye character with gentle sweetness, making it ideal for sipping neat or enjoying in classic cocktails.
• Roundstone Rye 92 – A more robust and full-bodied expression, this 92-proof rye highlights intensified spice, toasted oak, and hints of dark fruit. Its higher proof delivers a richer, warming finish while maintaining the smooth craftsmanship Roundstone Rye is known for, perfect for sipping or elevating your favorite rye cocktails.
• Roundstone Rye Cask Proof – The boldest expression in the lineup, this high-proof rye offers maximum flavor intensity, with deep spice, rich caramel, and toasted oak notes. Cask Proof showcases the full strength and character of Roundstone Rye, ideal for adventurous sippers or for creating elevated cocktails with a punch.

Event Highlights:

• Whiskey education with the visionary Scott Harris.
• A 3-flight tasting: Roundstone Rye 80, Roundstone Rye 92, and Cask Strength Rye.
• Sip on our custom event cocktail inspired by Catoctin Creek.
• Enjoy appetizers, a BBQ dinner, and a sweet finale with dessert.
