Jim Beam stopping Bourbon production for a year due to slow sales attributed to sanctions

How is this good for American workers and businesses , we like Jim Beam bourbon here.


"Jim Beam is putting its trademark distillery on ice.

The iconic American bourbon brand announced it will stop producing whiskey at its facility in Clermont, Kentucky on January 1. The pause will last for the entirety of 2026."


"It's been a rough year for Kentucky's $9 billion whiskey industry. Tariffs and boycotts are hitting business hard: Canada hasn't bought any American-manufactured spirits since March in response to President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff regime. Overall, U.S. whiskey sales to Canada are down 60%.

As a result, the bourbon industry has halted production by more than 55 million proof-gallons, representing a 28% downshift."

The last time I had Bourbon was in mid 2000's. I am a red wine woman.

I like Merlot from France.

In my opinion Jack Daniels is more popular in Europe than Jim Beam.
