    The Cherry Blossom Old Fashioned

    Bourbon muddled with Luxardo cherries, cherry bitters & orange peel

    A tribute to the famous cherry tree legend

    The Story

    George Washington was not only the father of the nation but also one of America's earliest whiskey distillers. His Mount Vernon distillery produced nearly 11,000 gallons of rye whiskey in 1799, making it one of the largest in the country. This cherry-forward Old Fashioned pays homage to both his legendary cherry tree and his passion for American spirits — a drink worthy of the man who set the standard for presidential entertaining.
