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!

Tritricale. Thanks to Norman Borlaug.
Vlasic should come out with a commemorative batch for ‘Ol Pickles Clinton.
Hillary Hooch!
And cabbage farts.
The “crossed fingers” are a tell.
Well, that is one way to sell a crappy blended whiskey.
Will there be a Mango flavor?
The text for the bottle’s label contains the same drivel that one’s finds in the campaign speeches of the average Democrat candidate for elected office.
Skip the ethanol and go with methanol. However even after you're blind you can still hear her.
Rodham Rye: throw one into the back of your SUV.
It does have that Rachel Maddow look.
As for their little blurb, "the women who fought to end prohibition"?!? It was meddling progressive women who fought to institute prohibition!
Aged in sardine barrels?
OMG! You may think my policies are fishy... Wait till you smell my hidden garden, my rotten rye!
“Is that a Nazi Eagle with an SS Death’s Head Skull on the bottom of the glass?”
Which in English means: “One Woman, One Pantsuit, One Rye.”
Only a LIB lunatic would buy this swill.
The neat thing is that they're doing something interesting in Ivy City, which not so long ago was rock bottom on the DC scale, which is off-the-scale bad by anyone else's. Ivy City was originally a neighborhood that catered to railroad workers, as the rail yards are directly across New York Avenue. It became heavily African-American because the railroads hired lots of black men as laborers and black women as maids and cooks during the great days of passenger rail. When those jobs largely disappeared, Ivy City crashed hard. That was compounded when New York Avenue was turned into a restricted access commuter sewer. The neighborhood became almost unlivable except for the real down-and-outers.
Almost overnight, Ivy City has acquired new condos, an organic grocery, a fish market, a new bike shop, and a women's something or other that I didn't pay much attention to when I last prowled through to see what was happening. Now comes a distillery. These gals are featuring a tasting room and tours, which means they're hoping to cater to a local crowd. A few blocks beyond next door, but still pretty close, I have an acquaintance who hopes very soon to open a microbrewery and tasting room in Langdon, which is across the railroad tracks to the northeast and is another forgotten neighborhood (though it never did the full crash and burn like Ivy City). It's gentrifying now.
I retired from drinking 25 years ago and am not going to start again now just to celebrate an interesting new business in a part of town that is coming back to life. But it's a very interesting location decision. The odds are against any new business, but I wish them success. I'm really curious about where their customers might come from.
Raised in DC from 1950 onward and having watched the destruction of the black lower middle class and their businesses by Ems-Liberals-Progressives- Commies.I don’t give a rat’s rump in wishing these white privileged hard core lesbians success.
Go read their page to understand fully the depth of their far left politics, their crowd sourcing funding, Emily’s List support, etc. Every damn item on the distillery page is political.
Do some 30 second research before you throw your support the makers of Rodham Rye...Notice that their first distilled product was a Vodka called Civic, easiest and quickest spirits to get to market. Best markup as well.

Very intriguing comments! I’ve been spending more time in DC this year; will have to check it out.
