I enjoy seeing the seditionist red states being hit by this. I have no empathy for these people other than blue voters in these states.
Jack Daniel’s is a Tennessee company, which voted overwhelmingly for Trump (60+%) in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
“But why did they eat MY face!?!”
I checked their donations and while pleasantly surprised still don’t really care. For Americans they’re a fine option, for Canadians don’t buy American
It doesn’t matter if they’re a good company or not. It causes them to put pressure on the government.
There are some US products that are gonna be difficult to replace. This is not one of them 😂
The way country music romanticizes (read: shills) Jack Daniels you’d think it’s the greatest spirit ever distilled, rather than the disgusting swill it actually is.
Is Epic Meal Time still a thing? I remember them using Jack Dagniels for some syrup and other dishes.
They always had better branding than booze. I’ve always been partial to tulamoor dew. I wonder who makes that? I’ll be back with an edit
Edit: it’s scotch/Irish Wiki
Hay man, it’s also glorified in hard rock as well as tv and film. It’s Americana to the maxx!
Good, keep it up. Put the pain on us in the US. We need to learn our lesson.
Now say please… good girl. Now thank Daddy… that’s right.
Probably shouldn’t have elected a stampeding bull for a president
A demented evil orange piece of shit? Like some sort or rapist nazi pedo asshole? That?
Ya, but I tried staying contextual in my description 😉
Gotcha. Context is not usually one of my driving factors.
Completely understandable, especially given *gestures broadly*.
I guess the leopards are drinking their faces now.
“Piiiiinooooooooooooot Noiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrr”
You brought thus upon yourself, Kentucky.
It’s from Tennessee, thank you very much. Bourbon isn’t a regionally classified spirit, but Tennessee Whisky is!
Love my state; hate my statewide politicians. SMH
We should do that in europe too!
As a (hopefully soon to be ex) American: do it! Pull all our whiskeys. Between the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Japan, you can replace just about anything we make.
I saw a video about American booze being taken off the shelf, and it got interrupted by an ad for Jameson. That ad happened to talk about how very Irish Jameson is.
Jameson’s marketing team is on the ball LOL.
Sure, we’ll buy European booze, and maybe you could buy Canadian booze when you can. Also maybe Ireland and France could ratify CETA please? We will buy your whiskeys and wines, really odd that those two countries are holding out on us on that.
As an American I can confirm that crown royal and coke is superior than jack and coke.
Coke is American too. Unfortunately Royal Crown Cola is too (not only the original brand, but also the current megaconglomerate overlord).
But, it would be fun to replace the “Jack and Coke” with “Crown Royal and Royal Crown”.
Stevie Ray Vaughan special
You talking about coca cola or the other coke?
I’ll never tell…
Now with more purple!

Go tell it to your dumb ass president.
Y’all are focusing too much on the single brand here. Yes, Brown Forman owns Jack Daniels, and yes, JD is not very good (and far worse than other American whiskeys in the same price range, whether we’re talking the black label or their fancier offerings).
But Brown Forman also owns Woodford Reserve and Old Forester, which have good bourbons in their respective lineups. And, it should be noted, they also own the Scotch Whisky brands Glendronach, Benriach, and Glenglassaugh.
And what non-Canadians might not realize is that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario pretty much has a monopoly on spirits sold in Ontario, whose 15 million people account for about 40% of the Canadian population. If LCBO chooses not to purchase American spirits, that means it will basically be impossible to legally buy American spirits in Ontario, whether in a retail store, a bar, or a restaurant.
And as additional context, the American bourbon industry is facing down a bit of a contraction/recession/downturn in the coming years. Demand is softening up for most whiskeys, especially high end bourbons, compared to where they were a few years ago. Expect to see layoffs, fire sales, and bankruptcies.
I’ve been coming to the understanding that “bourbon” is like champagne in that it doesn’t describe a type of alcohol so much as alcohol of that type produced in a specific region (though with the caveat that there might be factors about that region that also means boubon is a distinct type of alcohol due to those factors). If that’s accurate, wouldn’t it mean that “the American bourbon industry” is redundant like “the French champagne industry” would be? All Bourbon is American.
Good. Lets stop drug passing the border.
Jack Daniels has a nickname here and it’s not positive xD
“Drain cleaner”
Oh no. Anyways drink canadian. Or have a nice scotch. Really anything but American
Need more retaliation from countries. Everytime America complains there needs to be a resounding Nelson “Ha Ha”.
