I apologize for the confusion, but the correct answer is indeed opposition to a federal whiskey tax. The Whiskey Rebellion, which occurred in the 1790s, arose primarily in response to the federal excise tax on whiskey that was implemented by the government to help pay off national debt. Farmers and distillers in the western frontier viewed the tax as unfair and burdensome, leading to protests and unrest.
