The Wall Street Journal had a story on the bourbon glut just a few weeks ago. Destroying the export market for a product that is already in overproduction is not too bright. That said, you'll probably be able to get more discount bottle of Blanton's and Weller's now. They have to empty those barrels in the warehouses at some point.

A lot of the small producers and late market entrants will fail, probably before the end of the year.

You're also going to see big failures of craft beer as canning costs go up and California wine, which does rely on Canadian markets to make up a good percentage of their income.

That's if the tariffs stay on.
