Bourbon is wildly popular? If this is meant as a joke I'm afraid I've missed it.

Huge slump at moment. Folks over-purchased chasing hype/scarcity during and following COVID. Production increased but demand has softened sharply, for several reasons. For a lot of folks I know, it’s as simple as they simply don’t have the physical space to keep accumulating bottles. Others have grown bored and decided to exit the “hobby” and send 90% their collection to places like K&L for auction.

Weird hobby buying bottles of bourbon and just accumulating them. I drink mine!

Great, nobody is buying Bourbon and nobody is buying supercapacitors, so it works out.

Canadians stopped buying bourbon and many countries targeted it outright with retaliatory tariffs

It is still wildly popular.

But it is wildly less popular than it was and demand is well below what they built out supply to meet. Even without the tariffs the industry was going to have a major contraction and the tariffs have made it even worse.

Bardstown literally has their production line workers doing yardwork and other random tasks to keep them on payroll while not running production.
