It just keeps getting better and better...
You can't make it up. I mean, you could make it up, but nobody would believe you.
Tell me this wouldn't have been a FIRE Babylon Bee headline just a few years ago:

WASHINGTON, D.C.
George Washington's reconstructed distillery. The Distillery and Gristmill are open to the public April thru October with admission to Mount Vernon.
Long Before Jack Daniels, George Washington Was a Whiskey Tycoon
The Founding Father spent his post-presidency years presiding over a booming alcohol business
When George Washington left the presidency in 1797, he was looking forward to some relaxation—returning to Mount Vernon and the pastoral life that had been distant during his time as president. But Washington was a man of innovation, who rarely let an opportunity slip by—and when he hired a Scottish plantation manager in 1797, Washington added another line to his resume: whiskey seller. The planation manager, James Anderson, had immigrated to Virginia in the early 1790s—noticed a missed opportunity at the estate: the abundance of crops, combined with Washington's state-of-the-art gristmill and abundant water supply could be used to make whiskey. And it wasn't just the abundance of crops, but the type. Washington, to help foster healthy soil, planted a lot of rye as a cover crop. Rye wasn't high on the list of delicious, edible grains, but Anderson didn't think it should go to waste—instead, he wanted to turn it into whiskey.
Washington was, at first, hesitant to jump into a new business venture—after all, at 65 years old, he had wanted to spend his retired years in relative peace, but after hearing Anderson's proposal, as well as corresponding with a friend who was involved in the rum business, Washington acquiesced. That winter, Anderson began distilling in the estate's cooperage, using just two stills (pots used for distillation). The first distilling was so successful that Washington approved plans for construction of a full-fledged distillery, complete with five stills. The distillery finished construction in 1798, and by 1799, it was the largest whiskey distillery in the country.
The gold old boys drinking whiskey and George Washington's rye.
RIP, America.
