About

Two Revolutionaries were behind the creation of the Burwell Morgan Mill: Lieutenant Colonel Nathanial Burwell and General Daniel Morgan. Burwell was an enterprising planter-distiller deeply involved in commerce of the day, opening his own distillery in Frederick County and contributing to the growing whiskey trade. Morgan, on the other hand, was a true military man, who was sent to quell the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania sparked by post-war taxes shortly after the Revolution. Join us as we discuss whiskey's impact on the lives of these revolutionaries, how it became America's favorite spirit, and learn just what happened during the Whiskey Rebellion. We will be sampling two of Eight Shires Coloniale Distillery's recipes, crafted with heritage ingredients using the same methods as our colonial forefathers. There will be tastings of two different whiskeys: Charles River Shire, a single malt aged in charred barrels, and Warrosquyoake Shire, a straight bourbon made with heritage Indian Maize corn, Red Winter Wheat, and Malted Barley.

Tickets are $40 for non-members and $30 for CCHA members. Ticket price includes whiskey tasting.
