Watershed Gin®
Paying respect to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, in which our beloved Catoctin Creek does flow, this gin is a bit of a watershed itself.
Distilled from rye grain, with a secret recipe of herbs and spices, Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin® is unlike any gin you've tried. Amazingly complex, with a rye base that shines through subtle citrus and cinnamon notes, essences of fresh cut hay, and of course a crisp juniper character. Together, they make Watershed Gin a fine cocktail mixer.
Try it with the traditional tonic and a slice of lime (or a Meyer Lemon, for a real treat!). Or mix it into your favorite summertime refreshers.
Suggested retail price $34.19 per bottle. 46% ABV, 750 ml

"A rich, flavor packed gin for craft cocktails."

"Distilled in copper pots from rye, there
is a density to this gin as soon as you nose
it, a cinnamon stick and woodsy spice
character that tees up a spice-tinged gin
whose assertive juniper notes are completely
re-contextualized by the unique spirit
at its base."Food & Wine, February 11, 2022

"While gins can be all over the
map these days, Watershed comes across with
clear focus. Beautiful juniper nose
and taste, with practically no alcohol
harshness... Incredibly balanced...
I just wanted to sit back and enjoy it...

"A great gin begins and ends with the
question, 'can this be my daily
standard gin?' Watershed Gin fits that
bill perfectly."American Craft Spirits, September 28, 2010

"A spicy, woody and soft aroma. Licorice
and anise are full-on in the first taste
and big in the finish. Soft juniper.
A good mouthfeel and full body."Modern Distillery Age, November 18, 2011
