Bourbon, Bluegrass, and… Catfish?
In Lovettsville—just north of Hillsboro—the sign for Cool Spring Distillery stands out. For anyone familiar with Western Loudoun, a hand-carved sign and a 100-acre farm usually indicate something worthwhile. During a visit, the proprietor, known as “Catfish,” shared his master plan for the distillery.
He aims to open up the expansive fields to Harvest Hosts, allowing visitors to pull in with their RVs or campers and stay for up to three nights—free of charge. His only request is that guests support the distillery. Given the cocktails are truly exceptional, this is a trade-off many would gladly accept. The spirits are small-batch and noteworthy, with the Lovettcello standing out. Additionally, plans for live music are on the horizon, making this spot a must-return destination.
For those near Nicewarner Lane, look for the sign and follow the gravel road that winds around some farm equipment for about a quarter mile. Just be sure to have a designated driver if trying the bourbon.
