Researcher synthesis
Use interviews as attributed viewpoints, not a uniform foreign-consumer verdict. Keep whiskey-specific annual exports separate from all-spirits figures and partial-year comparisons.
Assessment
Anecdotal tourism and consumer observations do not establish a population-wide boycott or isolate tariff causation. Stockpiling, pricing and other market factors may overlap. Political interpretations belong to interviewees and author.
Retrieve the underlying DISCUS report for figures before publication; current tariff status requires separately dated official confirmation.
