Sending Whiskey to Europe to Evade Tax Expires Bond Rules
Pittsburg distillers have shipped over 6000 barrels of whiskey to Europe for storage in the past three months and expect to reach 10,000 barrels as the tax on bond whiskey looms. They claim storage abroad keeps funds free while avoiding the $8600 per 100 barrels tax, noting high domestic costs and a weak crop outlook. The piece cites W. J. Friday praising the approach and notes a lingering advertisement for Aver's Har Vigor.
