Now it’s Washington state whiskey distillers who are feeling the sting of the tariff battle.

Canada and the European Union have imposed tariffs in retaliation for the Trump administration’s decision to tax steel and aluminum imports.

Don Poffenroth, president of Dry Fly Distilling in Spokane, said an order for 2,000 cases headed to Canada was canceled last week. That’s $200,000 in whiskey – almost 10 percent of his business.

Poffenroth said the canceled order doesn’t just hurt his distillery.

"It means we buy less grain from our farmers, less bottles from our bottle manufacturers, and all of our vendors are impacted," he said. "And 10 percent of our overall business means we have to change our labor hour distribution and our approach to the market."
