Trump's “Beautiful” Tariffs Are Gut-Punching the Bourbon Biz

from Blind Tasting Podcast · host John Starck

In this episode, we tackle a spicy topic—tariffs—and how they’re shaking up the bourbon world. From export numbers and price hikes to major layoffs and closures (looking at you, Brown-Forman and Garrard County Distilling), we dig into whether tariffs are to blame or just part of a bigger industry shift. Are whiskey prices going up? Who’s really paying the cost? And is the bourbon boom finally slowing down? We’ve got questions—and our finance expert has some hot takes. Plus, I sneak in a personal one at the end… because hey, I’m a whiskey freak too. Help support the podcast by shopping for whiskey, prohibition, and gangster-related photos and art at: https://famousdocs.etsy.com  Get 20% off for a limited time when you purchase 4 or more items!Like what I'm doing?
