About

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.
