https://nypost.com/2021/06/17/scotch...ly-us-tariffs/
LONDON — Scotch single malt whisky makers breathed a sigh of relief Thursday after the United States agreed to suspend tariffs on one of Scotland’s main exports following the resolution of a long-standing trade row between the U.S. and the EU over subsidies to aircraft companies Boeing and Airbus.

President Donald Trump imposed the 25% tariffs in October 2019 as part of the trade dispute over aerospace subsidies. While the U.K. no longer is an EU member, it belonged to the bloc when the tariffs were introduced.

Earlier this week, the U.S. and the EU reached an agreement to end their dispute, paving the way for a 5-year suspension of tariffs both sides had put on an array of products, including olive oil and cheese, as well as whisky.

The Scotch Whisky Association estimated that the tariffs contributed to a 30% fall in total exports to the U.S., equivalent to around 600 million pounds ($850 million) in the 18 months to March 2021.

“This deal removes the threat of tariffs being re-imposed on Scotch whisky next month and enables distillers to focus on recovering exports to our largest and most valuable export market,” Karen Betts, the association’s chief executive, said.

Alcohol is a gateway drug and scotch is probably one of the best examples of this. I don't imagine it takes much time to go from having an occasional drink of that poison to banging smack and shitting in the streets.

Just say no.

A $2,000 bottle of scotch is not a gateway drug. I may have a dram once a month.

Yea, sorry I'm just waiting to close up shop and a little bored. I thought the sarcasm was obvious but apparently not.

My bad.

It's all good. I see your posts from time to time, but we don't interact much, so my bad. Humor is a cornerstone of this forum. I encourage it.

Next time we get together I’ll bring some really good Scotch. You’ll never go back to paint thinner.

Your taste in alcohol compliments your taste in music.

Seriously though, I’ve tasted some cheaper stuff and I’m just not seeing the attraction to scotch? Is it an umami thing? I’m more of a wine and beer enthusiast but some of the descriptions for wine seem over the top. Smoky tobacco with hints of creme brulee? GTFO.
