Whether you're a fan of the Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners" reality series or not, everyone deserves the chance to savor Climax moonshine. Until recently, reality star Tim Smith was brewing moonshine illegally in his hometown of Climax, Virginia, but now his original pot-distilled family recipe graces the (legal) market in the form of a 90-proof spirit. People said he couldn't go straight, that such a disreputable liquor could never be mainstream, but Smith's disregard for authority only urged him to make his old-fashioned moonshine legal. And honestly, we couldn't be more thankful, as this stuff is the real deal! Climax Moonshine is crafted from corn, rye and barley malt mash. The result is a clean, natural-tasting alcoholic beverage with a subtle sweetness that boldly defies convention. One of the best ways to enjoy Climax Moonshine is decidedly Southern — simply mix the alcohol with sweet tea for a no-fuss cocktail everyone can enjoy. For a peach-flavored tea, add peach bitters and some peach slices. And if you want a more traditional mixer, blend Climax Moonshine with agave nectar, mint leaves, watermelon cubes, ice and a mix of lemonade and Sprite. Trust us, there's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer's day than rocking on your front porch sipping a watermelon "moonito." But if you're really feeling adventurous, take a shot of Climax Moonshine backed with a shot of pickle juice! With Tim Smith Climax Moonshine, you're only limited by your imagination. Don't you just love the South?

90 points - Exceptional – Wine Enthusiast, 2020 Double Gold Medal – New York World Wine and Spirits Competition, September 23, 2018 Our most popular whisky! Roundstone Rye® is a very unique rye whisky, made completely from scratch at our distillery in Purcellville, Virginia. This pre-Prohibition style rye whisky is made from 100% rye grain, sourced locally when available. It is mashed, fermented, distilled and aged completely in our distillery, before bottling it at a very sippable 80 proof. Aged it in new Minnesota white oak casks for a period of just under two years, the whisky is smooth, woody, with that true grain character achieved in a relatively young whisky. Roundstone Rye has a delicious woody taste, with notes of caramel, rich butter toffee, and just a hint of lemon in the nose. Roundstone Rye is a superb sipping whisky, a great whisky in Manhattans, or your favorite rye whisky cocktails.

In 1927, A. Smith Bowman purchased the 7,200-acre Sunset Hills farm to open up a dairy and granary. Shortly after bringing the idea to life, his fields became so abundant that he needed a use for the excess grain. This one defining moment changed the entire course of the Bowman legacy and ultimately lead to the best whiskey in the world. In 1934, A. Smith Bowman built a groundbreaking distillery on the farm land and turned it into a family-owned business. Since then, the focus has shifted from our classic spirit to producing premium handcrafted small batches and experimental editions that embody innovation at its core. Today, our historic family-owned distillery has relocated to Fredericksburg, yet still continues to balance our long-lived traditions, honoring one of Virginia’s great pioneers. Most recently in 2016 and 2017, A. Smith Bowman Distillery won the “World’s Best Bourbon” at the World Whiskies Awards — solidifying us as Virginia’s Most Award-Winning Distillery." Our Isaac Bowman Bourbon is aged in charred white oak barrels, then finished in port barrels, many of which come from Virginia wineries. This combination of finishing barrels produces flavors of jam with caramel and spice notes. Isaac Bowman is produced in a similar fashion to our Abraham Bowman port-finished bourbon, which won World’s Best Bourbon in 2016.

Made from 100 percent Virginia rye, Bare Knuckle is twice distilled and aged in new charred American Oak barrels. The raw rye is milled, masked, fermented and double distilled at KO Distillery in Manassas, VA. As a 100 percent rye, Bare Knuckle is all about the spice, but the vanilla and caramel undertones from aging in charred new American Oak barrels provides an interesting flavor contrast.

The Whyte Laydie is a harmonious dry gin incorporating Rocky Mountain juniper and a variety of native botanicals with European juniper and the imported ingredients traditional to gin: fresh citrus, orris and angelica root, cardamom, grains of paradise, and more. Working with herbalists and wildcrafters intimate with the Montana landscape, we tested a variety of local herbs friendly to the digestion (as are traditional gin botanicals). We were delighted with bee balm, which lends warmth; yarrow, with its subtle hoppy note; and elder flower, with its classic wine-like sweetness. Our botanical blend is married with Montana’s esteemed wheat and water to produce The Whyte Laydie – as lovely a gin as there ever was.

Loudoun summer memories feature thick, soupy, evening air, the lazy buzz of cicadas, and the lush juiciness of a perfectly ripe peach.

Only one in every ten barrels gets selected to be in the Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" whisky. This whisky is the culmination of several years of planning. "For a few years now, we've been putting whisky away for storage," remarked Becky Harris, Chief Distiller and President of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company. "We pulled some of the more interesting barrels from the back of the barn and decided to release these at a higher proof: a whisky specially curated for flavor, while still being remarkably smooth, as is our existing 80 proof Roundstone."
