The US government announced yesterday a 25% tariff on all single malt Scotch whisky imports, as part of a wider set of tariffs aiming to punish the European Union.

Taking effect October 18th, the U.S. Trade Representative’s office released a list of hundreds of goods that will get hit hard beyond whisky. It includes Parmesan cheese from Italy, olives from France and Spain, wool clothing from the U.K, and European aircraft. The overall list covers approximately $7.5bn of goods.

Yikes!! No. No. No.  Tariffs on single malt scotch; perhaps stock up.  Good scotch is not cheap.   **nononono*

   I stocked up on Tequila during the Mexican tariff standoff.  As I sip my Bloody Mary this morning I'm thankful he never seems to get mad at Putin.
