The most dramatic decrease came in U.S. spirits exports to Canada, which fell 85% in the April-through-June quarter

We have our own bourbon style whisky. I had some yesterday in a cocktail and it was good.

Legally, we can only call it bourbon unless it comes from the US. I'd like to see us scrap that or come up with a better name. It would be nice seeing our distilleries use the brand to sell better.

Seriously not a fan of that regional protectionism bullshit.

I am. It prevents fakes from entering the market. In Italy, food and wine is all regionally controlled to prevent disasters like the Olive Garden.

Having a sticker that says 'from the region region of place' is fine. Not being able to call it a Champaigne style wine so a person who doesn't already know wine can tell what's what is a pain in the ass.

It's just called Bourbon style whiskey. Why does Kentucky have any right to a region in France?

I prefer the term Sparkling Fascism.
