Leading up to the election, Republic Restoratives owners Pia Carusone and Rachel Gardner wanted to create a product that would celebrate who they thought would be the first female president. Plus, it seemed fitting: Hillary Clinton has been known to throw back the occasional whiskey. So, they came up with the idea for Rodham Rye, which would launch around the inauguration.

No need to tell you what happened next.

Carusone, who previously worked for congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was in Arizona campaigning for Clinton right up to election night. The next day, she and Gardner agreed to put the rye whiskey on hold, not sure exactly what to do with it.

But after a period of self-described mourning, the distillers returned to Rodham Rye and decided to continue with it anyway. Carusone says the spirit isn’t ultimately just about Clinton. “It’s a tribute to women in history, and a tribute to women in our everyday lives,” she says.

Found this item from the June 11 2017 "The Hill": Hillary Clinton brings home some ‘Rodham Rye’

[j. earl carter]

Looks like they want $70+ for a bottle. Jack Daniels goes for under $25.

Commies always try to overcharge.

Rodham Rye is the embodiement of hard work, patience and humility. We carefully selected multiple rye whiskies that aged in different styles of oak, married them together and added pure Adirondack mountain spring water from Rachel's family farm. The result is a rich, deep, rye whiskey that entices your senses with the complexity of a rye without overpowering your palate. We can't wait to share it with you.

I bet it tastes like _______.

Huma?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Just don’t drink it in Fort Marcy Park.

[JenB987]

I was hoping it would be something like “Bobble Head Bourbon” or “Fainting Bitch Whiskey” or “Grandma’s Blackmail Rye”

[MrsEmmaPeel]

I got a couple other options for you:

• poopey pants
• old crow
• nasty woman

“Hitlery Skullbuster”

I expect the product is priced about right.

Unaffordable, and of dubious quality.

It should be flying off the shelves. Not because it is popular, but of the evil spell which it represents that levitates inanimate objects.

Which, when it wears off, lets the object fall with a resounding crash, spontaneously bursting into flame.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

No price, just make a donation. Fortified with pure wood alcohol ... the Web Hubbell aphrodisiac.

[PAR35]

Just old, not mellowed with age. A bit bitter around the edges, and too much of it will kill you?

[Drew68]

Should’ve sold it in a mason jar.
