Synopsis
"How many of us knew that the young George Washington bought votes with free beer and rum punch? Or that the old, retired president's distillery pumped out 10,000 gallons of rye whiskey in a single year? Here's a toast to historian Dennis Pogue for excavating the intimate relationship between strong liquor and the strong man at Mount Vernon." "Dennis Pogue has done the reputation of George Washington a huge favor. His painstaking research of the written and archaeological records meticulously places the Mount Vernon distillery in the wider contexts of George Washington's far-ranging plantation and entrepreneurial pursuits. What Pogue reveals is that George Washington was no blurry-eyed visionary. Always practical in his military, political, and business adventures, it is no wonder that he was also extremely savvy about the production and use of alcohol and the role that it played in American society. Beyond that, Pogue explores the significance of alcohol in America's wider public sphere since Washington's time, leading up to the recent restoration of the Mount Vernon distillery." Book jacket., George Washington: first in war, first in peace and first in whiskey? In Founding Spirits George Washingtons largely unknown and unexamined role as the entrepreneurial owner of one of the largest whiskey distilleries in 18th-century America forms the core of this detailed portrayal of the origins of the American whiskey industry.At the end of Washingtons second presidential term, his plantation manager, a Scotsman with extensive experience distilling whiskey, made the president a proposition that he simply could not refuse. Thus, Washington agreed to invest in a stone still house and outfit it with state-of-the-art distilling equipment. The enterprise soon grew to be the most profitable of all of Washingtons commercial ventures.
