We always said - raise a glass, not tariffs. Thinking about cask strength tonight to celebrate the end of the E.U. tariffs on America's only native spirit. What Kentucky #Bourbon will you be toasting with tonight?

AP: "Lifting this tariff burden on American whiskeys not only boosts U.S. distillers and farmers, it also supports the recovery of EU restaurants, bars and distilleries hit hard by the pandemic,ā€said Distilled Spirits Council of the United States Chris R. Swonger wapo.st/3vZRPIx

The EU-US announcement to remove tariffs on Kentucky bourbon is great news! Bourbon is a $8.6 billion industry that provides 20,000 jobs to Kentuckians. Thank you to Secretary Gina Raimondo and the Biden administration and all those who helped make this win a reality for the commonwealth.

It’s a BIG BIG deal for our industry, future job creation and economic vitality for American businesses and the EU hospitality sector too. Next up hopefully, a US & UK agreement to remove tariffs on American Whiskey soon. #ToastsNotTariffs

After nearly 4 years, tariffs may have crushed our exports but not our spirits. Here's to the return of American Whiskey to the UK cocktail scene! šŸ„ƒšŸŽ‰
