The decision by the US government to lift the tariff on single malt whiskeys is great news for Bushmills, according to North Antrim MP Ian Paisley.
In a move designed to ease trade tensions with the US, the Biden Administration announced the lifting of the tariff on some goods imported from the UK, including certain cheeses and matured whiskey.
"I am delighted. I've been engaged for months about this," said Mr Paisley. "I've also lobbied the US administration about the significance of this for Bushmills and jobs in North Antrim."
He added: "This is great news for the single malt distilleries in NI like Bushmills where the US has been such a key market over the years.
