After five years of archaeological excavations, the distillery has been authentically rebuilt by a team of restoration architects, craftsmen and historians using 18th-century building techniques.

Is the public allowed to purchase any of the whiskey?

I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but distilling booze is ILLEGAL unless they have the proper permits. George would be appalled. Wait - never mind.

Personally, I'd be more impressed if the Playmate of the Month was cutting the ribbon than British Royalty.

Thanks for the post and the ping, George76. Although he must have enjoyed his whiskey occasionally, The General favored madeira and always served rum punch to his guests. As I understand it , the distillery was a business venture more than anything else.

George76, Just read your tagline. You could probably add 'fake American'

The reconstructed distillery's masonry is modeled on Rockledge, a nearby eighteenth-century house.

Geoge was my great X7 uncle (through Martha).
It's good to see his distillery restored.
Can't wait until it's raided by the BATFE.

Got pulled over for doing 105mph down Mt Vernon Pkwy back in the 70's

I agree.
But Prince Andrew is better than the really goffy older brother.
