President Washington had one of the largest, most successful commercial distilling operations of his day. And, on July 1 (2010), you can experience it for yourself.
George Washington's Distillery is hosting the first public sale and tasting of George Washington Rye Whiskey.
The distillery is producing the spirit using the recipe found in the first president's historic records.
With only 500 bottles available at a cost of $85 each, the rye whiskey made by the former master distiller of Maker's Mark quickly will become a collector's item.
