OK, I get the retaliating over the Boeing/Airbus dispute but what is this about "French brandy and cognac are not affected by the penalties." Why are Scotch whisky producers in the UK getting stiffed but the French aren't?!?

I have no problem at all with us negotiating with the Brits on trade. “You do this and we'll do that”.The goal,of course,is an agreement which benefits both sides.

Don’t the Kennedy’s still have their “special tax” on imported whiskey from the UK?

This is weird, I just poured a dram of The Balvenie when I came across this thread.

If you can’t afford to buy Scotch Whiskey because of the tariffs may I suggest you switch to a Fine Kentucky Bourbon.

The French don’t produce whisky.

I’m all for tariffs, which are economic Balm of Gilead, but this is beyond the pale!

Takes some pressure off Boris for Scottish independence. Do it. He’ll owe you.

And I like Cardhu. So shoot me.

I do a fair amount of international travel in my job. I can tell you from personal experience that the American whiskey’s in places such as Cape Town, Jakarta, and Istanbul for example are much more expensive and as such you can usually find them untouched at international bars and thus full of good American spirits.

Bourbon is far superior to whiskey.
