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.
As an American I like Jack from time to time and Woodford Reserve, but I usually go to Jim Beam.
However, lately I have been drinking Crown or Bushmills Black Bush. Fuck buying American.
Try Uncle Nearest and read up on the history of it.
Awesome! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It’s a very interesting history, and I will have to give it a try. I’m in the Chicago area, but I see that it’s in stock in various stores near here so I’ll have to pick some up.
