Retaliatory tariffs caused a sharp downturn in American whiskey exports in the last half of 2018 as distillers started feeling the pain from getting caught up in global trade disputes, an industry trade group said Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019. Catoctin Creek Distillery has a couple hundred cases of its rye whiskey sitting in a European warehouse. The inventory was built up in anticipation of growing European sales in 2018. But since the tariffs took effect, their sales in Italy and Germany have plunged, and its plans of expanding to the United Kingdom are on hold, said its co-founder and general manager, Scott Harris.
