Mentioned back in August that the tariffs / trade wars were hitting US spirits manufacturing (Canadian Whiskey). Today the BBC reports that Jim Beam distillery is pausing production for as much as a year. Jim Beam is owned by Japanese company Suntori, but employs 1000 in Kentucky.
Jim Beam white bottle is my favorite bourbon for Manhattan cocktails. Televisions and Jim Beam are two of the few things that haven’t gone up in price the past few years. D.N.
