    American whiskey isn’t very popular outside of NA

    In 2023 $1.8 billion of whiskey was exported to countries outside North America – that number is second only to the UK. You can look at the numbers (and impacts of tariffs) here

    It’s a mixer whisky … JD

    Yes, let’s judge every other whisky producing country by the mass produced garbage that makes up the bulk of their exports too.

      I feel like you’re kind of proving my point here. Looking at the dollars and sales.

      So what percentage of that was the really good whiskey distilleries most people haven’t even heard of vs the big ones that supply the world with the novelty of American whiskey?
