Tariff will mean $6 to $10 extra on a bottle of Irish whiskey in US

Clonakilty Distillery founder Michael Scully. 'The tariff will mean $6 to $10 a bottle for the end consumer. It's still very affordable for the quality of the product.'

The best Irish whiskey has plenty of aroma, distinctive colour, smooth taste, and oozes character. 

Creating it requires plenty of patience. For Michael Scully, the founder of Clonakilty Distillery in West Cork, that patience will be required in spades over the coming weeks.
