A Trip That Features A Sip Back In Time

(NAPSI)—For those who cherish the spirit of America and enjoy learning about American spirits, traveling along the American Whiskey Trail could be a step in the right direction.
The Trail consists of a series of historical sites and operating distilleries open to the public. They include George Washington Distillery Museum, in Mount Vernon, VA; Fraunces Tavern Museum, in New York, NY; Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, in Alexandria, VA and several other venues.
Each stop along the way is known for playing a significant role in the history of spirits in this country. For example, George Washington’s Distillery—the first stop on the Trail-was the largest whiskey distillery in early America. Currently, it’s the only site in North America that demonstrates 18th—century distilling methods from seed to barrel. It’s open to the public April through October.

It may surprise some that George Washington’s Distillery was the largest in early North America.
