According to this site, http://www.ttb.gov/public_info/special_feature.shtml, the Whiskey Tax was repeal in 1802. Since Jefferson was President at the time, and since he believed in the plight of farmers, and since his Sec. of Treasury was from western Pennsylvania, it is safe to say Jefferson played a part in the repeal of the tax.

Tariffs and duties were the main source of revenue. There were taxes on whiskey and certain commodities.
