Debatable at best, the USA produces some of the best spirits on the planet.
You're right. That is extremely debatable.
The USA doesn't even produce some of the best spirits on their own contentent.
Bigotry isn't the answer.
You might want to look up what that word means.
I'm indigenous I'm an expert at identifying bigotry.
I'm queer, married to a trans person, and my brother and his family is Anishinaabe. I think I might have a bit of experience in it too. And thinking "Americans don't make good booze" isn't bigotry, it's nationalism. Saying "Gay people", or "Indigenous people" don't make good booze is bigotry.
Also, saying something like "American Whisky is water with an alcohol content" is also more of a personal opinion rather than an outright attack on any particular group.
You might want to refresh your language a little bit.
