    Bourbon is my go-to spirit. I haven’t bought a bottle in 16 months.

      American here, is anyone in Canada making a bourbon-like whiskey? Lots of Japanese whiskeys are emulating bourbon.

        There are a few that I have come across, but they don’t actually taste like bourbon. The ones I have found and tried are 51% corn and 49% barley. Because of the high barley content it tastes more like Canadian whisky than American bourbon.

        Most of my bourbon consumption was for old fashioneds, so my replacement for that has been 100% rye whisky. Lot 40 and Canadian Club, specifically.

          That’s cool, brave of them to use “bourbon style”.

        Bridgeland Distillery in Calgary has a Taber Corn whisky which is at least reminiscent of bourbon. Not the real deal, but a fair substitute.

      I’ve been getting it on sale since you guys started this. Which is good with our government finding new ways to be pieces of shit every day.

    The council says exports to Canada fell 63 per cent last year.

    Imagine if your income fell by 63%. It’d probably get your attention.

      Income from Canada. It’s not 63% of their income.

          What a beautiful graph!

          Definitely it can be a lot. It could even be the difference between profitable or not for some companies.

      Apparently not enough for distilleries to get vocal about it. People still fear the MAGA mob and what they did to Bud Light, and it’s largely because companies refuse to act in solidarity.

    Don’t blame the Canadians for showing you what true patriotism means. Blame your dear leader for making you detested by most of the the rest of the world.

    So on on hand, this is great news for many reasons, and I want to thank and congratulate Canadians!

    On the other hand, the article indicated that this “devastating boycott” is basically just Canadians. So I have to ask… Canadian’s… you all doing alright?
