GOOD! Irish whiskey was always the win anyways
Welp, bourbon is about to get cheaper... Sadly I don't drink bourbon, but instead I'll drink Irish whiskey or scotch because they are IMO better drinks
I'll keep an eye on it, but i seriously doubt they would lower the price.
Corpos don't know how to lower prices anymore
If I were them I would just re barrel it and sell it as like a 15 year aged Bourbon a decade later or so.
What do they with the liquor they take off the shelves? Stick it in a warehouse somewhere and wait?
It's sold on consignment, so they just ship it all back to the producers.
A lot of it is likely on consignment, especially distributors and liquor stores, so the distiller doesn’t get paid for it until it’s sold. So it can either sit in a warehouse or the distiller can take it back, it’s their choice. In cases where it isn’t on consignment, warehousing it rather than selling what you’re already paid for at least ensures that the distiller is impacted by the entire duration of the tariff, as people can’t still buy their product for a while while it lasts and then the seller just immediately resupplies when the tariff is over. Storing it means when the tariff is over there’s still a supply to sell before they purchase more from the distiller. This would be the situation for bars and such, but it’s a big liability sitting on their books, so I imagine most will probably sell their remaining stock, which I can understand.
I’m a simple guy who likes Jim Beam Black label, Jack, Woodford Reserve, etc. I’ve been swearing off American whiskeys since this tariff shit started. I just bought Bushmills for the first time and have been enjoying it.
I’m all for some suggestions. I’m not picky, so single malt, blended or whatever is fine. I just like to drink on the rocks or neat and want to enjoy the flavors. I’d be open to blue state whiskeys otherwise anything else is good.
❤️ Much thanks!
Check out your local distilleries, they likely have some good stuff.
Absolutely. I always forget about local distilleries.
Highly recommend the mid tier Jameson and Dingle whiskeys
Nice! I have always enjoyed the typical Jameson, but I’ll check out the mid tier stuff.
If you enjoy Jameson and the Bushmills give Tullamore Dew a shot. It's another exceptionally smooth delicious Irish whiskey.
Teeling whiskey too is outrageous
Japanese whiskeys are great, but they can get expensive. Whiskeys made in blue states are likely to be more craft-oriented and also be expensive.

Most of those are in Napa/Sonoma/Paso, which are expensive wine areas. They mostly have $75/bottle bourbons.

Those are in Portland, and they are also quite expensive compared to Jack and Woodford.
Woodinville is from WA and is pretty good. A bit more expensive than your normal bourbons, but not crazy.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m willing to spend a little to try something!
American here. My wife and I are big fans of Jameson Black Barrel and Canada's own "Swear Jar" whiskey.
Never had the Jameson black barrel. That’s a new one to try! Never heard of “Swear Nar” but I do like that name. 😃
Swear Jar is amazing. Hints of caramel and other deliciousness.
I finished a giant bottle of that niagra whiskey last week and it was decent.
Thinking of trying a Japanese brand next week
Oh, nice! I’ll look for the Niagara one. What Japanese brand are you looking at?
I live in the Chicago area and we have a chain called Binny’s that carries a ton of alcohols from all over. I’d love to see if I can find these.
For relaxing times, I make it Suntory times.
Excellent! I’ll give that one a try.
An entire thread about the consequences of voting Republican, without a leopards eating faces meme? Did we think that only applies to humans? Or did no one tell me that meme is over and gone?
Well, the meme is now tired out. Not because it's old or irrelevant, but because it's happening every day. lol
Yeah, in my head the 🤏🎻 is playing reading this article.
I would bet that even once American brands are back on the store shelves, a lot of people are not going to go back to buying them.
“That means hard-working Americans—corn farmers, truckers, distillery workers, barrel makers, bartenders, servers and the communities and businesses built around Kentucky Bourbon will suffer.”
I think this part was supposed to make us feel sorry for them, but to me this says: "That means that REPUBLICANS will suffer." Give us some credit, you might know shit about Canada, but Canadians know the demographics of Trump voters.
God dammit, I hate this deflection. Oh no, you aren't hurting the company, your hurting the workers.
Fuck that noise. If our government was doing its job, it would have protections in place for workers.
One time I saw a commercial where a Hollywood employee was like “when you download movies for free on the internet, you aren’t hurting the big executives, you’re hurting me.” I thought “wow I had no idea. I had no idea you could download movies for free on the internet.”
I would probably think that hurting such a greedy corpo-bootlicker justifies it even more…
Full stop!
I can't! Tempus is fugiting!
Soooo that means it'll be cheaper in america right? You know supply is higher. /s
Prices in america never go down
Getting on the shelf is no simple task. Getting BACK on the shelf? A lot worse. And all because two spoiled toddlers think their inheritance plus time creating more money means they aren't dumb motherfucks.
They didn't "create" money. They "extracted" it from the working class.
I think youre underestimating the amount of toddler minds behind all this. But yeah, the main two most visible ones.
There just a lot more of those toddlers, lot greedier and almost even intelligent idiots behind them curtains who don't want to be known in any association to the the two most prominent toddlers
