Celebrate a remarkable chapter in American distilling with George Washington’s Bourbon Whiskey®, a refined expression inspired by the ingenuity of America’s first president. At Mount Vernon, a dry season once resulted in a poor rye harvest, challenging Washington’s distillery to adapt. Rather than halt production, Washington turned to a corn-forward mash bill, creating a distinctive whiskey in the tradition of the bourbon we know today. More than two centuries later, that spirit of resourcefulness lives on at George Washington’s reconstructed Distillery, where this bourbon is distilled, aged for seven years, and bottled by hand using traditional copper pot stills, wooden mash tubs, and period-accurate 18th-century techniques. At 93 proof (46.5% ABV), it offers an elegant and approachable character, beginning with aromas of cedar, rich molasses, and orange oil. The palate reveals silky sweetness layered with clove and rich oak, followed by a bright, warming finish of citrus and ginger. A distinctive taste of American history, this bourbon brings Washington’s pioneering spirit and the craftsmanship of early American distilling to every glass.
