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.
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
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”.
Good, who said that only the pukeking baby diaper president is allowed to escalate things in a conflict?
As an aside, it’s interesting how “Jack Daniel’s” is the brand name, with the apostrophe-s ending. It makes it a bit difficult to construct sentences talking about it. If you write “the maker of Jack Daniel’s is Brown-Foreman” it makes it seem like you misused an apostrophe or forgot a noun, like it should be “the maker of Jack Daniel’s whiskey is Brown-Foreman”, but that’s also wrong because it’s not the whiskey belonging to Jack Daniel, who’s dead.
Boo hoo. Wipe those tears with your wads of profit and if that’s not enough take it up with our shithead president. Fucking Christ I’m tired of shit ass journalism. Nobody gives a fuck.
