The world is awash in American whiskey

Bad news! For whom?

"The world is awash in bourbon. That’s a problem for Big Booze.
Consumption of American whiskey—including bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, rye and single malts—has slowed. Distillers who added capacity during the pandemic are suffering a hangover as more Americans pinch pennies and join the ranks of the sober-curious. Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon, is sitting on enough of the stuff to last as long as 10 years, according to industry estimates."
