Swilling the Planters
Show notes
We’re a day late on this one (election hangover, more or less), but we crack open a bottle called Madam, from a women-owned DC distillery that crowdfunded its way into existence and put the first female vice president on the label. From there we wander into some genuinely strange whiskey history: George Washington running the country’s biggest distillery while losing (then winning) elections, a punch bowl that saved a presidential inauguration from turning into a riot, and a tax scandal that reached the Oval Office. Pour a glass. It’s a tall tale.
