Distilled Spirits from Mount Vernon

By 1799, George Washington had become one of the largest whiskey producers in the United States.

Today we continue the tradition of producing whiskey and small batch distilled spirits at our historic distillery.

Each bottle is produced using 18th-century distilling methods and techniques.
