Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing ‘significant headwinds’ and ‘significant impact’
The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel’s whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.
After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.
I love a good whiskey but if every single one of my favorite distilleries went fascist, I could drink Canadian Club for the rest of my life and be fine.
Nothing wrong with Canadian club
So do I, but we’re talking about Jack Daniels here.
I think it’s OK with cola.
Canadian Club is owned by Suntory, if that means anything to you. Still not American, I guess.
Appreciate the precision. My point is, life doesn’t fall apart without your preferred brand of whiskey/vodka/chicken sandwich/whatever. Principles are more important.
Yes, point taken.
I believe they are still mostly made in Canada, though.
