Whiskey Lore series on the history of George Washington and his Virginia Rye distillery

In this four part pod casts series Whiskey Lore takes you inside the mind of one of Virginia's master distillers of rye Steve Bashore, behind the scenes at the Historic George Washington Distillery at Mt. Vernon, and through the history of how George Washington and his Scottish-born farm manager James Anderson came to launch one of the largest commercial distilleries in America during the late 1700's.

Interviewer Drew Hannush takes you on a wonderful trial of discovery of a great Virginia Rye whiskey tradition.
