Whiskey Rebellion Tea

Bourbon Scented Smoky Tea

In the summer of 1794, President George Washington called out 12,950 militia to subdue violent protests by so called 'Whiskey Rebels' in Western Pennsylvania. The Rebels were farmers and whiskey distillers protesting taxes imposed on distilled spirits. The call out of the militia dispersed most of the protestors, and secured the new government's authority. After he left his Presidency, Washington built one of the largest distilleries in the United States. Oliver Pluff & Co. briefly aged this small batch tea in a whiskey barrel to remember events from our country's early history, and to enjoy the blend of aromas and flavors.
