Quarles applauds lifting of tariffs on bourbon
Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles is applauding an agreement reached this week between the United States and the United Kingdom that ends a 25 percent retaliatory tariff on Kentucky bourbon and American whiskey.
The tariffs were among those imposed in 2018 on some American products by the European Union (EU) in response to U.S. imposing a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum from the EU. An agreement to lift the tariffs was reached in October 2021 between the EU and the U.S. However, the UK and the U.S. didn’t finalize their agreements to end the tariffs until this week. The tariffs are slated to end June 1.
Bourbon Industry impact:
• Kentucky is home to 95 percent of the global bourbon industry. Responsible for $9 billion in annual economic output, the bourbon industry in Kentucky creates as estimated 22,500 jobs with a $1.23 billion annual payroll.
• More than 75 percent of corn used by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association members comes from Kentucky farms.
• Prior to the tariffs Kentucky bourbon exports increased by 98 percent between 2010 and 2017.
• Tariffs imposed on U.S. spirits decreased exports of Kentucky Bourbon by 35 percent in 2020, with shipments to the European Union decreasing by nearly 50 percent, according to the Kentucky Distillers’ Association.
