A Female-Run DC Distillery Has Released A Rye Inspired By Hillary Clinton
Hungry Forever ^ | 3/26/2017 | Anna

When Hillary Clinton was campaigning and on the trail to win the 2016 elections, a female-run distillery in Washington D.C spent months creating something worthy of celebrating the first female President of the United States. When the election happened and everything went topsy-turvy, releasing the spirit made no sense.

Rachel Gardner and Pia Carusone of Republic Restoratives have decided to move forward and release their specially concocted whiskey named Rodham Rye. It will go on sale today in a limited batch of 4,652 bottles. This whiskey honours Hillary Rodham Clinton in all her glory.

According to Grub Street, Carusone said that they’re releasing the whiskey now because the Rodham Rye is a celebration of women in general and releasing it in the month of March is also a way to celebrate Women’s History Month. “Rye is the sturdiest of all the grains, the grain that will grow in the most harsh conditions and still thrive,” Carusone told The Huffington Post.

As explained on their Facebook page, “the rye is made from a blend of whiskies that are stronger together than apart”. And the result is said to be spicy and sweet, with vanilla and cinnamon notes.

And what’s even better is that 5% fromevery sale of $79 bottle goes to EMILY’S List, an organisation that supports pro-choice Democratic women running for office!

WTF??? Maybe I'm missing something ... but prohibition was brought to us by women.

If it stays consistent with the Clintons, it’s probably liquid THC.

I am sure it is smooth as a wood rasp going down. It has subtle hints of boiled cabbages and Hillary’s old underware

How good can it be, they have only been in business since summer of 2015?

Barely enough time to satisfy minimum aging requirements if they started on day one. Probably rebranded blend.

They call their vodka Civic... Below is the link to WaPo puff piece...https://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2015/05/04/woman-owned-republic-restoratives-distillery-coming-to-ivy-city/?utm_term=.a09bd5db6942

Contains methanol, to cause blindness.

Definitely inspired by Hillary.

This seems appropriate, naming a wisky for an old out of control drunk.

Historical fact:

Ergot Poisoning was frequently caused by Rotten Rye. A by-product of the ergot fungus on rye was something like natural LSD and could cause St Vitus Dance. This was a problem in the Middle Ages when food became scare — eating Rotten Rye was a risk that people took.

Drinking Rodham Rye? I’ll pass.

It’s dry, bitter, makes you ill, and kills brain cells. As a libation, it’s not fit for toilet cleaner. But it’s the perfect product to bear Hillary’s name.
