A Kentucky liquor company was “disheartened” to learn some people had been using one of its whiskey brands to celebrate the not guilty verdict for 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.
Heaven Hill Brands said in a statement posted to Twitter it was unhappy to learn some people were using the company’s Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey to “celebrate” the verdict of Rittenhouse, adding there was “no cause for celebration” after the teenager was acquitted on five counts last week.
“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,” the liquor company said in the statement. “There is no link between our Rittenhouse Rye brand, which was started post-prohibition to commemorate Rittenhouse square, and this case.”
The company said there was “no cause for celebration” following the 2020 incident when “lives were lost” and people were left “deeply affected.”
Instead of celebrating the verdict, the world needs “deep reflection on how” people “can make the world a more peaceful and respectful place for all,” the company added.
That sounds like a load of utopian crap right there, something someone would say if they had imbibed a little too much of their own liquor, or wokeness.
I celebrated Kyle’s exoneration because he was defending his life against those who intended him evil. He was Biblically justified in what he did. For the jury to have made any other decision would have been a miscarriage of justice.
Apparently Heaven Hill wants to be the next Black Rifle Coffee.

I agree that Kyle Rittenhouse’s exoneration is “no cause for celebration”, but not for the reason Heaven Hill Brands thinks.
It’s great he was exonerated, but that doesn’t change or reverse the fact that the trial should never have happened. The evidence was never on the prosecution’s side, and they spent two weeks trampling Kyle’s civil and Constitutional rights. Justice was not served by his exoneration; the best I can say is that a larger injustice was averted.
If and when ADAs Binger and Kraus are disbarred and charged with malicious prosecution, and the mainstream media companies are sued and forced to pay out another nine-figure defamation settlement, then it will be time to celebrate.

Some difference there. Black Rifle Coffee deliberately positioned itself to be a, if not the, “patriot” brand. Then they crawfished on it when it became inconvenient. Heaven Hill just seems to be trying to keep its product from being connected with a divisive issue.

Dumbasses should have taken advantage of the free publicity

If they had any marketing skills, they’d come out with a special edition with three free shot glasses in a nice see through pelican case.
