OLD CROW: These production problems couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Bourbon and aged whiskeys, in general, hit a cliff during the 1970s and 80s… When Jim Beam (now Beam Suntory) purchased the brand in 1987, they closed the facility and began bottling Old Crow… in the Jim Beam portfolio. https://archive.is/wip/bsmYO

Whiskey Wars: How Bourbon And Scotch Became Pawns In Global Trade Disputes
Global demand for Bourbon resulted from decades of negotiating free-and-fair trade deals like NAFTA and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment, which have been in place since the 90s….. But this record-shattering international growth came to a grinding halt in 2018 when Kentucky distillers became pawns in a much higher stakes game: Trade wars. Two separate trade disputes between the US and its trading partners have devolved into a messy multinational tariff battle… In 2018, the United States imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum. In response, the EU and Mexico slapped 25% tariffs on American whiskey, which predominantly affects Kentucky Bourbon. Canada piled on with a 10% tax.
“We have become collateral damage in a trade war, plain-and-simple,” Says Eric Gregory, President of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. … targeted exports that would hit home for the United States' highest-ranking officials. This included Congressman and House Speaker Paul Ryan, whose home state’s Wisconsin cheese was explicitly taxed, and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, home to 95% of America’s Bourbon. Juncker’s tariffs were parried by the Trump administration, who responded by taxing other European spirits and wine, and the whole mess became a tit-for-tat battle that’s affected virtually every spirits category. Massive companies like Diageo (the world's largest distiller until being overtaken by China's Kweichow Moutai on 9 April 2017) , Pernod Ricard (France), and Beam-Suntory with spirits in multiple categories like Cognac, tequila, and vodka are taking a hit every possible way.
