George Washington Whiskey Tasting
At this outdoor event, sample George Washington’s whiskey and other distilled spirits made at Washington’s Distillery.
In 1799, George Washington’s distillery produced nearly 11,000 gallons, making it one of the largest whiskey distilleries in America. Today, a reconstructed working distillery produces small batch spirits on-site using 18th-century distilling methods.
You will sample 3 distilled spirits, hear about the history of distilling spirits, and tour George Washington’s reconstructed gristmill and distillery.
This event is held at George Washington’s Distillery & Gristmill, located 2.7 miles from Mount Vernon. Tastings are offered on Saturdays in September: Sept. 7, Sept. 14, Sept. 21, and Sept. 28.
