George Washington
Our nation’s first president did try his hand at whiskey making. After leaving the presidency in 1797, the founding father spent some of his retirement planting rye around his Mount Vernon estate and soon had a full-blown distillery underway, producing 11,000 gallons of whiskey in 1799, the year he died, making it the largest whiskey distillery in America at that time.

I did not know such details. I always learn things from you.
But I have to admit that I do not like this drink as taste, only as color…
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Have a fabulous day and week! Hugs
and than you for the Blog hop!❤️😘
I had no idea either. I found this very interesting. Happy WW and rest of the week, Suzana. Hugs. 🙂
We learned something new today!
That makes three of us, Duke. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
That’s some very interesting news today, Sandee. Grandpaw likes whiskey, so we have to tell him this news😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞
I thought this was very interesting too. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Well that is a new factoid for us. We had no idea! What happened to it all after he died?
I had no idea either. I don’t know what happened to it all after he died. I’m sure the whiskey keep being produced. 🙂
I learned something new today. I didn’t know this
I didn’t know this either. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Ann. 🙂
I did not know this about George.
I didn’t either. I was very surprised. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
Wow, I never knew that. George Washington really was a Renaissance man!
Happy Wednesday, Sandee😊
He was indeed. Happy Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
I knew that Thomas Jefferson was into wine making (I visited the site of his winery, which is also a winery today, near Charlottesville, Virginia years ago) but didn’t know about Washington’s rye venture. Time to read up on it. Alana ramblinwitham
I didn’t know about Thomas Jefferson either. Interesting. I was very surprised about George Washington. 🙂
I did not know that, very interesting. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
I was very surprised about this. You’re welcome on the hosting. My pleasure. You have a great day too, Ellen. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Wow! I learned something new and interesting today. Happy Wednesday!
I learned something new too. Happy Wednesday, my friend. Hugs. 🙂
💗Hugs back! 💗
Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew cannabis too.
Believe the caretakers of Monticello have uncovered the distillery there, and were planning on producing some fiery liquid to sell some day.
Goodness. I didn’t know that either. It was a different time indeed. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
President George was a man with so many visions.
Hugs x 4
Cecilia
He sure was. Good for him. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
We didn’t know that.
I was very surprised by this fact. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Thanks for linking up. 🙂
That was interesting, I didn’t know that either!
There are so many tidbits of history that surprises us. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
Hope his whiskey isn’t what killed him.
He died of a throat infection. I don’t think the whiskey killed him. Happy Wednesday, my friend. 🙂
Very interesting. I also like your politic free zone sign.
I delete links that are fill with hateful politics. We’re a happy place here. Period. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
I have to say what everyone else is saying…I had NO idea at all about that. And a distillery too! I’ ll absolutely have to research him! Seriously. Happy Wednesday to you! xx
It’s all true. I try not to post things that aren’t true. Happy Wednesday, Carole. 🙂
Gosh, I never meant that! I just meant I was nudged to learn more.
That’s what these posts are about… learning. No offense taken. We are good. Hugs. 🙂
What an interesting historical tidbit! Thanks for sharing. Happy Hump Day.
I thought it was very interesting too. Happy Hump day, my friend. A hug to you and scritches to Wilson. 🙂
Very interesting, Sandee! I love your Wordless Wednesday! I hope you are having a great day! 🩷🌸 Hugs
Very interesting indeed. I love my new look. Thank you for making my blog POP. Hugs. 🙂
It was my pleasure. Hugs to you, too. 🌸
I love you my Only. I love our Kitties too. Your Loving Husband.
I love you and our kitties. We’re all so fortunate to have each other. 🙂
I remember an NPR article about this a few years back, and how they had revived the recipe. I enjoy whiskey, so I’ve been curious to try this at some point.
Happy WW!
I’m not a whiskey fan, but I’d take a taste of his whiskey. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Thanks for linking up and for hosting this fun hop. 🙂
Fascinating! I did not know that about George Washington! There is a lot about famous persons that we don’t know even when their lives seem to be in the spotlight. I love this bits of information/trivia. Thank you Sandee.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, dear friend. Peace to you.
I love it too. I had no idea. I love searching for fun facts about things/people. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Suzette. Hugs. 🙂
Awesome! Thanks again Sandee. Have a great day!
Interesting fact. Not a fan of whisky unless it’s mixed with Sprite to make it sweeter. Have a great week Sandee.
I don’t drink hard liquor. I’m a wine/champagne kind of gal. Happy rest of the week, Sami. 🙂
Washington was also said to have never wanted the presidency. So! What you’re saying is Washington helped create a country, tried to lead it. Then when he saw what it was, got the heck out of Dodge and needed 11,000 gallons of whiskey to forget. 🤣😎🙃
You’re on to something. You made me laugh out loud. 🙂
I leave wiser and in need of a drop for myself!
I’ll have a drop with you, Keith. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
I never knew that about George W., how interesting. My husband would say, “YUM”. Me, not so much…give me a nice glass of Pinot Gris!
I’m with you on the Pinot Gris. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
That is a very interesting fact. Mom is not a whiskey lover. She really doesn’t enjoy the hard liquor that much; she is more of a sweet white wine gal:)
Woos – Misty and Timber
I’m not into hard liquor at all. Wine and champagne for me. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Not a whiskey person myself, but interesting! Never too old to do new things.
Thanks, Sandee, for the party. Happy #WW Hump Day.

Very interesting info. I didn’t know this. Happy Wednesday!
I was very surprised by this information. I had no idea. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Yvonne. 🙂
I am another one that didn’t know that! I used to drink Irish whiskey when I was younger, but now prefer gin.
I was surprised about this. I love a good Bloody Mary now and then. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
Interesting to know about this. I do think it was a fun fact I saw awhile back, too. Hope your Wednesday is going good. <3
I didn’t have a clue about this. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Hugs!
Hugs to you and scritches to Pixie. 🙂
Well, I guess he had to keep busy after he got out of politics.
You and Mr. Zane have a blessed week and give Lil’ Bit and Squeaker some love from me.
You crack me up. Love and hugs. 🙂
Wow, so very interesting.
I thought so, too. Patrick. Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Happy rest of the week, my friend. 🙂

I thought so too, Carol. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
At first glance, I thought this was a glass of cola which I certainly prefer over whiskey. 🙂 Interesting tidbit on George Washington, though.
I prefer a glass of cola rather than whiskey too. Happy rest of the week, Cathy. Hugs. 🙂
Thank you, darlin’!
