VIDEO: Historically Crafted Whiskey is Back
At 10 a.m. today, rye whiskey made the old fashioned way in George Washington’s distillery went on sell for $95 a pop. Because of high demand and a likelihood that it will sell out within hours as it did the last time a batch went on sell in July, customers are limited to purchasing one bottle.
The December 1 batch is unaged, and it won’t be until 2013 that the aged portion of that run will be up for grabs. Approximately 47 gallons of aged rye whiskey from a previous run will become available in February, however.
It’s difficult to discern which is more unique: the lengthy, intricate and historical process by which this libation is made or the whiskey itself.
