Distillery: George Washington’s distillery

George Washington Rye Whiskey Estate Edition is distilled by Pickerell at Hillrock Distillery. “We are partnering with Hillrock because we simply can’t make enough of our product at George Washington’s Distillery to meet the demand,” says Mount Vernon’s president, Curt Viebranz. Much like the rye whiskey that Pickerell produced at Mount Vernon, the rye whiskey produced at Hillrock Distillery continues to be made using Washington’s recipe and is distilled through copper-pot stills. In addition, much like the original rye that Washington himself produced, George Washington Rye Whiskey is never aged.
