Is that US made swill back on the shelf? The Orange Turd decided to postpone the tariffs for 30 days.
Tomorrow it will be. I still won't be buying it.

In summary, top brands from red states are not only being pulled from shelves, but orders by hospitality and independent vendors are on hold.
Other brands from red states are not being imported, it's while current stockpiles last.
Can confirm a bunch of stuff's been pulled. So far it's just a few brands though. That's Maker's on the bottom, so Kentucky bourbon as a category hasn't been pulled (yet?).
Asked them how people have reacted and they said they'd thought many would be really pissed but the reaction's been nearly universal support.
Would love to see the same from the Albertan government, but I'm sure Smith is on her knees with her mouth agape for that slimy orange load.
You're not wrong, but I could have happily lived never reading those words in that order. Pretty sure I took at least 10 points of psychic damage.
I think you should roll again.
And then add it.

A few other word choices and it might have been a power word kill instead
Fucking Smith looks so goddamn spineless. Everyone else is standing proud while Smith "please no more? What can I do for you?"
Most other premiers aren't held bankrupt by UCP crazies who'll force a leadership review if they don't toe the fascist line.
Smith, on the other hand, owes her whole career to appeasing right-wing nutjobs.
"Ready to Zuck"
The Jack Daniels and Bacardi really aren't a loss to anyone. You are all better off without them.
Kentucky Burbon though:
Meh, Irish Whiskey and Scotch are still available. The loss will be forgotten over a single glass.
I can appreciate a good glass of whiskey or scotch but prefer burbon if given a choice. Cheers!
Holy shit it’s gonna be like traveling with blue jeans in the 80s all over again. Isolationism sucks :(
Bourbon is appellation protected - it's all from Kentucky. That's the reason Jack Daniels is "Tennessee Whiskey".
Common misconception! There are rules when it comes to making bourbon, but location isn't one of them. Check out Koval bourbon from Illinois, and I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff coming out of Oregon and California.
Edit: It does have to be made in the US, not a specific state or county.
Contrary to popular belief, bourbon may be made anywhere within the US:

“Tennessee Whiskey” has its own standards, most notably that it should be from Tennessee:
Is there any ill that fireball can't cure?
I think it causes more ills than it could ever cure.
Diabetes
Ahaha, my thoughts exactly. One of the best parts about Biden winning, for me at least, was ending my embargo of bourbon.
Bacardi is Cuban?
It may have started in Cuba but it isn't anymore.
