Catoctin Creek Distilling Co., Purcerville, Va.., signed Viparmex, a national wine and spirits distribution company based in Guadalajara, Mexico, as its importer in Mexico.
Two of the craft distillery’s most popular expressions, Roundstone Rye 80 Proof and Roundstone Rye 92 Proof Distiller’s Edition, are now available throughout Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cabo San Lucas. Both products are single barrel pot-stilled whiskies made from 100% rye.
“We are thrilled to begin export to Mexico,” said Scott Harris, founder and general manager of Catoctin Creek. “Mexico represents the second largest market in Latin America, and the largest market for ecommerce today. After attending the Barra Bar Show in Mexico City earlier this year, we believe there is sufficient interest and disposable wealth in Mexico to begin exporting our premium whisky line to the country. With existing NAFTA and potential future USMCA rules, we believe Mexico is an excellent place to do business.”
