Distillery: George Washington’s distillery

According to Washington’s distillery ledgers from 1798 and 1799, his whiskey consisted of 60% rye, 35% corn, and 5% malted barley. Mount Vernon’s finest whiskey release to date, this aged spirit smells of fruit with a hint of oak from the barrels and has a fruit-forward taste of apples, apricots, and baking spices. Mount Vernon’s historic trades team spent hours producing this spirit using 18th-century methods. This included grinding all of the grain in Washington’s reconstructed water-powered gristmill, fermenting in wooden mash tubs, and distilling in copper pot stills heated by wood fires.
