Rittenhouse Rye are not happy that Conservatives are toasting their whiskey to celebrate Kyle Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict.
The whiskey company has spoken out to disassociate themselves from the teenager.
In a statement the brand said:
We have been disheartened to learn that some individuals and businesses have been using our Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey brand to celebrate the Kyle Rittenhouse case verdict, despite the profound loss of life from those events,’ it wrote on Twitter.
‘There is no link between our Rittenhouse Rye brand, which was started post-prohibition to commemorate Rittenhouse Square, and this case.
‘It is our strongly held belief that in serious matters such as this, where lives were lost and people deeply affected, there is no cause for celebration, but instead deep reflection on how we can make the world a more peaceful and respectful place for all.’
