In this special episode I returned to Mount Vernon, Virginia to visit one of the coolest places on the planet. George Washington needs no introduction, but did you know he made whiskey and the distillery at Mount Vernon is fully operational? Head distiller Steve Bashore gives me a quick tour and sits down with me for a fantastic conversation.

I can't thank Steve and the Mount Vernon Ladies Association enough for making this episode come to life. Steve has been so gracious with his time and friendship, and I can't wait to visit again soon!

Special thank you to Logan Keyser for his time and assistance on this production.
