About Republic Restoratives "Madam" Blended Whiskey
The female-owned and led Republic Restoratives distillery is based in Washington, D.C. Pia Carusone came from a career in politics, joining her childhood friend Rachel Gardner, who had dreamt about opening a distillery. Since opening their doors in 2016 after a lot of research, they have aimed to disrupt the world of distilling. No legacy, no fourth-generation distillers ― just a fresh start and the willingness to challenge conventions and, most importantly, craft truly delicious spirits. Their motto is: "Outspoken, Disruptive, American." They are the largest crowd-funded distilling operation in US history. The Ivy Bar is their distillery bar that operates on the premises.
They had a bourbon, apple brandy, vodka, and rye whiskey, before crafting Madam. It's the most fitting of tributes ― a blended whiskey that is inspired by the Vice President. Not just any Vice President, but America's first female, black, and Asian Vice President. Presented in a bottle adorned with the portrait of Kamala Harris that was painted by local artist Lex Marie, this whiskey is a blend of 7-year-old bourbon and 5-year-old rye with a mash bill of 58% rye, 37% corn, and 5% malted barley. It's bottled at 92 proof.

About American Whiskey
There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don't fall into those two strictly regulated categories.
There's equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
And then there's moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
