this is great for the American bourbon market. But this sucks for those who like scotch that comes out of England. You’re already paying an arm and a leg for it.

Trump will just start cutting deals with the individual countries of the EU.

Divide and conquer and then economically collapse the EU.

Not really a scotch guy but more of these small distillers have been doing single malt here in the us. I don’t know if it’s any good.

And scotch is whiskey from Scotland.

You could make something with the same flavor profile, it just wouldn’t be scotch because it wasn’t made in Scotland.

Scotch prices are ridiculous but Great Britain isn't in the EU so I don't think scotch would be affected.

He should just make it 10000%. Are we living in fricking reality at this point?

Stock up before the tariffs. Thank me later.

They may not even happen. I expect some knee bending by tomorrow afternoon.

There are enough spirits made here we don't need imported stuff. Unless you're a snobby snob

This is right. Uk left the EU. You guys will be fine.


The wine drinkers, not so much. I don’t drink wine though. So I don’t care.
