European Union leaders will consider imposing 25 percent tariffs on a range of US imports, including steel, clothes, and food, but not bourbon or other alcoholic drinks, following US President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on imports from the EU.
There’s Irish Scottish and Japanese whisky which are in my opinion superior anyway, should take a leaf from Canadas book and take them off the shelves.
As a Canadian, I don’t give a rat’s ass what other countries do. I WILL NOT buy anything American. Full stop!!
American spirits are mixers here, I’ll use bourbon if I want a cocktail but if I want a glass of something - I dont reach for american.
I dont want them off the shelves though, I wan america to revwrse course and be fucking normal before we end up at war.
You and me both sister.
Yup. Bourbon is way over rated.
Four Roses is nice for the price
Still way too harsh. Irish whiskey and Highland scotch are far smoother and more tasty.
Ardbeg is one of my absolute favourites, I’m more into Islay
Canada makes rye whiskey
When I did drink, I found bourbon too sweet
If the american supply ceases, european producers won’t be able to handle demand. Expect higher prices - good whiskey takes several years to produce and nobody has prepared for a stupid situation like this
Suck it up, buttercup. Take a stand!!
Lack of alcohol supply (a specific kind no less) is so far down the list of actual problems though. The majority of the population of the EU in every country seems to be on board with suffering a little in order to stick it to trump, so whiskey is really a weird thing to not import, especially given the potential impact it can have on the political opinion in affected regions.
