Excellent piece of history brought back to life, I enjoyed watching and am looking forward to seeing more of our past come alive again.

When the woman you love says I do, When you hold your new baby, When your dog greets you in the yard, When after years of sweat you get the keys to your home, When you watch your children graduate, and yes when you lift a glass of whiskey and remember those whose sacrifice gave us a chance at a better life, This is my America my Soul and my Heart.

My doctor told me to watch my drinking. So now I only drink in front of the mirror.

Great job! George Washington's Mt. Vernon is a living museum allowing us to see, smell, and even taste what it was like to live over 200 years ago as the United States was forming. Thanks for all of your work!

Was there this summer. What George's still made was barely whiskey, at least the kind we think of today. There was no aging. It was basically moonshine. I specifically asked them the aging question when I was there. The only aging that 'whiskey' got was during transport.

Hope you enjoyed visiting the distillery!

If you love America you just got to love moonshine. Practically one of the things that built this country. Hell how do Americans think we built our first churches and buildings and stuff? likker money built alot of things in America when we was getting up off the ground
