George Washington Single Malt Whisky Distillers' Reserve
American Single Malt
George Washington's Mount Vernon // Virginia, USA
RARE
With the support of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, George Washington's circa 1798 distillery was reconstructed on the original site, based upon archaeological and historical evidence. In 2012, DISCUS, in cooperation with the Scotch Whisky Association, began a symbolic spirit-making collaboration at the distillery, at the suggestion of The Glenmorangie Co.
This whisky, an American single malt distilled from 100% Scottish barley from Glenmorangie is the end product. The Distillers' Reserve is a product of the initial distillation, which was a total of 10 gallons single-distilled.

Tasting Notes
"Find a spicy, oaky nose upfront with sweeter, softer fruits underneath. The palate is a bit hot and oily, and offers caramel, malt and molasses, along with more dry oak. There's also a hint of minty, medicinal profile. The Madeira cask makes its presence felt on the finish, along with further notes of wood and spice."
