WhistlePig Whiskey has launched a national campaign urging Congress to recognize rye as the official whiskey of the United States, tied to the country's 250th anniversary. The campaign is supported by Max Miller, who has over 4 million subscribers on YouTube and is known for highlighting historical food and drink traditions. If the public petition reaches 1,776 signatures, it will be presented to lawmakers. If successful, this would bring the question of an official American whiskey designation to Congress. WhistlePigeon is introducing two limited releases to commemorate the anniversary and support the “Rye, White and Blue” campaign.
