Catoctin Creek Barrel Select Rye Whisky – Madeira Cask Finish

30ml Sample | Selected by Southport Whisky Club | 68.5% ABV

One of the most striking expressions in the Catoctin Creek Barrel Select range, this Virginia rye has been hand-picked by the Southport Whiskey Club for its extraordinary intensity. Finished in a Madeira wine cask, this cask-strength rye delivers an opulent, fortified wine character that elevates the bold rye spirit to something truly special.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dried fruits, toasted nuts, orange peel, and rich rye spice — the Madeira influence is immediate and inviting
• Palate: Powerful and complex at 68.5% ABV — honeyed sweetness, walnut, fig, cinnamon, and cracked pepper. Best enjoyed with a few drops of water to open it up
• Finish: Exceptionally long, with lingering dried fruit, warm spice, and a silky, fortified wine sweetness
