The Kentucky Distillers' Association has raised alarm regarding new tariffs imposed on Mexican and Canadian goods, predicting that the bourbon industry will face unjust challenges. This comes after President Trump enacted a 25% tariff, leading to American whiskey being pulled from thousands of retail shelves in Canada. Association President Eric Gregory highlighted that this retaliation could hurt numerous professions linked to the bourbon sector. The immediate effect is visible, with distributors like LCBO removing American liquor amidst potential long-term economic repercussions.
"Unfortunately, the return of retaliatory tariffs on American whiskey will have far-reaching consequences across Kentucky, home to 95% of the world's Bourbon."
