The History of Whiskey — The Spirit That Shaped America's Frontier And Built Fortunes
The man on the dollar bill was one of America's biggest whiskey producers. George Washington's Mount Vernon distillery made 11,000 gallons a year — run on enslaved labor, built for profit. This is the story of how whiskey became currency, then empire, then corruption, then Prohibition, and then a $60B global industry. The fortunes behind your favorite bourbon are older and darker than the label admits. #WhiskeyHistory #BourbonEmpire #AmericanHistory #GeorgeWashington #FrontierAmerica #WhiskeyRebellion #HistoricalFacts
