The Kentucky whiskey and bourbon industry is on life support due to reciprocal tariffs and general boycott of American goods in places like Canada. Eight months of that asshole’s stupidity and arrogance was all it took to destroy an entire industry.

As a US citizen, I agree. Anyone (any company) supporting or complicit with maga/nazi/republicans should be forever boycotted.

If you’re running for office in Kentucky, you really need to learn about the difference between “Bourbon” & “Whiskey”. Bourbon is a designated dark liquor category unique in the same way Champagne from France is. It’s corn based. Scotland produces wonderful whiskey. Bourbon is uniquely American.

It will likely take years for the Kentucky Bourbon industry to recover from this assault by a president that most in that industry voted for. Canadians were their largest market. Canadians will move on to Scotch Whiskeys or maybe even start their own distilleries with their own corn crops.

Yeah. I knew that. It’s Kentucky’s BIG loss. But Bourbon is different which is one of the primary reasons it had a good run. Ironically, Bourbon was created because of tariff and trade wars with Britain. As was Sour Mash. So you all will likely see a boom market while the US is sidelined.
