Jacopo Mazzeo, writing for Club Enologique, visited Virginia for several weeks and reviews several flagship distilleries he visited while here.  His article focuses on the way that Virginia is resurrecting tradition and leading the way for the future of whiskey in America.

Catoctin Creek quickly became a standard-bearer for that revival since its foundation in 2009 by husband-and-wife team Scott and Becky Harris. ‘When we opened, we were the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition,’ says Becky Harris. ‘We didn’t want to be the umpteenth distillery making bourbon. We wanted to make something that truly reflected the heritage of this place.’

It's a great article about the breadth of whiskey in the Commonwealth. You can read the full article, here.
