How did the federalists react to the Whiskey Rebellion?
The Whiskey Rebellion, or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States in 1789, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who sold their corn in the form of whiskey had to pay a new tax which they strongly resented. ChaCha!

With the exception of Moonshine, (which isn’t aged at all) it is aged in burnt white oak barrels for anywhere from five to 22 years.
