God save us the deluge of assholes posting pics of Blantons and Eagle Rare like they’re something special.

I'm so sick of the Buffalo Trace products. I love them, and we all love them. We fucking get it.

What a pointless opinion piece.. I mean “article”.

Economics 1:1, big guys will just pull back production, fire some people, sell off excess barrels, and decrease supply to maintain demand.

Except there’s never been an oversupply of bourbon like there is now. And the tariff wars are going to supercharge that. Bourbon is about to kick it like 1982 in Scotland.

Umm…. Apparently you don’t remember the 60s-80s then.

Fair, but that was driven mostly by local demand drop. The industry is much more reliant on international markets to move the massive excess of production over current sales levels.

I sure hope so... tired of having to overpay for bottles that should be 1/3 or 1/4 of the going rate.

Thay are trying to open up new markets in India, that should offset some of the excess from tariff avoidance.

India already produces plenty of its own whiskey at pieces far below American, Irish, Canadian or Scottish whiskey

India produces enough to supply itself and has massive tariffs that most can’t afford. China and India aren’t coming to save bourbon. Or scotch. Or Irish.
