DC "Distiller" Names Whiskey After Hillary Clinton

It's called Rodham Rye.

https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/03/22/dc-distiller-names-whiskey-after-hillary-clinton/



The whiskey itself is a blend of sourced one-year-old rye and three-and-a-half-year-old rye from Tennessee. (Tagline: “a selection of whiskies that are stronger together than apart.”) Carusone also points out that of all of the grains used to make whiskey, rye is the hardiest, sturdiest, most resilient of them all. (Do you sense a metaphor?) The result is a spirit with pink peppercorn spiciness, vanilla bean and kettle corn sweetness, and subtle cinnamon notes.

The distillers cut the whiskey to bottle strength using Adirondack Mountain spring water from a maple syrup farm in upstate new York that has been in Gardner’s family for generations. Another Clinton tie: “Senator from New York, she’s done a ton for conservation,” Carusone says.

Rodham Rye will launch on March 25 with a “community conversation” at the Ivy City distillery entitled “How to Support Women in the Age of Trump.” After a panel discussion, Republic Restoratives will lead tours and offer samples and cocktails, while female-owned vendors will provide food.

Five percent of proceeds from the $79 bottles will go to EMILY’s List, an organization that helps pro-choice Democratic women running for office. The limited release consists of 4,652 bottles, but Carusone says there’s a possibility they could make another batch.

“You never know, there could be a comeback.”

Honestly I think this is part of the reason why a lot of :911:-types are very much willing to deny climate change, and kinda give this finger to this crap.

The old "Al Gore's private jet" point kinda makes any sort of action to legitimately combat climate change ring hollow. When you're telling some guy who is struggling to put food on the table that it's "his fault" the environment is a mess, and not the company he's working for? There's gonna be some backlash.

definitely.

you can swap that out with pretty much any of their issues imo. its the same reason why concepts like white privilege are also met with such bitter derision

the life experience for these people is being on the brink of economic ruin, their towns decaying, their bills piling up, and their loved ones are dying from overdoses. now they're being told by urban professionals that they're "privileged"

if only there was some sort of term that would explain the massive resentment the rural poor has for the urban upper middle class

Climate change isn't an individual problem, it's a problem that requires government intervention. Sure you can help a bit, but it is not up to the individual to "fix it." It's up to the government to force businesses/communites to enact policy that will fix it. The individuals must merely adapt.

Which is kinda my thought on the matter. I mean it's great to encourage people to think more "Green", but turning off the lights really does very little in this regard other than being meaningless gesture for people (read: Celebrities, The upper class) to feel better about themselves. Like they "did" something.

Plant a tree, Recycle, Find a lower emission vehicle...sure. Great things. But this is just stupid.

It really is a culture war issue between neoconservatives (evangelicals) and neoliberals that we're all kinda forced to see play out. It seems sadly that this is the case across the board for every issue.

It's (sadly) successsfully used by both of these group of shitheads to divide the country and distract people while they steal from the poor to give to the rich.

The only solution to climate change that will ultimately make any difference IMO is punishing oil and energy execs. :thermidor:

white privilege is 100% a perfect example of the "academia applied to real life" problem I talk about. I've talked to so many people about it who respond "WELL WHERE'S MY PORSCHE?" when they just hear that phrase, but when I explained what it actually meant, they totally understood and agreed
