I'm a Ky native, I grew up just a couple towns over from Jim Beam, I've built equipment for the bourbon industry, I have friends and family that currently work at distilleries. Keep up the boycott Canada, make it hurt. The majority of my fellow Kentuckians voted for Trump. Despite the rest of us warning them what would happen, we pleaded with them even, but here we are. They voted for greed and bigotry, and I have 0 sympathy for the ones that are losing their jobs over this. After all, it's what they voted for.

I wish I had saved the news article when the head of an American distiller laughed at the idea of a booze boycott. He said something like "What are they going to do, drink Crown Royal?" (trying a google search for the quote is fruitless due to one of the Crown Royal bottling plants being moved to the US, but mostly because Google sucks now.) Anyway, the absolute arrogance of the guy was unbelievable. It had the vibe of a domestic abuser bragging that his freshly beaten spouse couldn't possibly leave him.
So, it turns out, yes, we will drink Crown Royal. but for me, Forty Creek, which is far superior. I bought a case of it. Should last quite a while.
Is Canada getting sober?
No, were just sobering up to American booze. The shelfs here are fully stocked with local alcohols.
Local and international. Just not from the US.
Where Canada really needs to make that happen is cars.
You think that would make the whiskey here in the US cheaper since they can't sell it, but nope, nothing stops stagflation.
For the first time, I saw Moosehead in Ontario. Itβs wild man
I saw a moose knuckle in Montreal once.
We have our own bourbon style whisky. I had some yesterday in a cocktail and it was good.
Legally, we can only call it bourbon unless it comes from the US. I'd like to see us scrap that or come up with a better name. It would be nice seeing our distilleries use the brand to sell better.
Seriously not a fan of that regional protectionism bullshit.
I am. It prevents fakes from entering the market. In Italy, food and wine is all regionally controlled to prevent disasters like the Olive Garden.
Having a sticker that says 'from the region region of place' is fine. Not being able to call it a Champaigne style wine so a person who doesn't already know wine can tell what's what is a pain in the ass.
It's just called Bourbon style whiskey. Why does Kentucky have any right to a region in France?
I prefer the term Sparkling Fascism.
Recommend one I might be able to find in the U.S.?
stores actively pulled off american liquor because of the Canada annexation comments and trade tariffs
No, we came to our senses and have refined our taste.
Hahaha, Canada has so much booze. We have a ton of fine ryes and most of the best booze comes from the EU/UK anyway. We also get a lot of south american and Aussie wines.
We didn't need the US, their booze was just cheaper. Then trump fixed that.
Avoiding American booze has given Canadian alcohols a chance to grow. Kiefer Sutherland is from NS and he has started a new whiskey brand, and he is building a new distillery in rural NS. Thanks America! ππΌ
Keifer Sutherland was born in London, UK. He lives in either Toronto or LA.
Canada just recently auctioned off all of the stockpiled american booze they pulled from the liquor store shelves and donated the proceeds to charity. Go Canada! Go Greenland! Go Mexico!
Do you mean Ontario?
Manitoba did as well
Ontario didn't auction anything. Our MAGA Premiere is waiting for the Fuhrer to change his mind about tariffs.
Go Manitoba!
I guess I meant Manitoba. Assumed it was national, but no.
dances a little jig
Suck it, bitches.
