Which is why I ask the question; as they haven't specified their reasons, why do we think they targeted Scottish booze?

edit: Honest, I think the US may have just ran numbers through a calculator to forecast which tariffs would give the sting they are looking to inflict, without considering the diplomatic implications on slamming a tariff on a country they have previously claimed they want to have good trade relations with?

Not sure tbh but I remember that in previous trade spats, Scotch Whisky was also targeted. So I don't think the US is playing politics, trying to help the UK government out or anything. It's a luxury good, sold for high margins and always has competitors with locally distilled spirits, this probably makes it vulnerable for tariffs.
