There are some US products that are gonna be difficult to replace. This is not one of them 😂
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
Need more retaliation from countries. Everytime America complains there needs to be a resounding Nelson "Ha Ha".
Oh no. Anyways drink canadian. Or have a nice scotch. Really anything but American
Go tell it to your dumb ass president.
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.
Good, who said that only the pukeking baby diaper president is allowed to escalate things in a conflict?
Good. Lets stop drug passing the border.
We should do that in europe too!
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 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.
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*.
As an American I can confirm that crown royal and coke is superior than jack and coke.
You talking about coca cola or the other coke?
Now with more purple!
You know what's worse than pulling things off the shelves? Threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations and then making up bullshit tariffs to do so
Who is wasting money on Jack Daniel’s anyway? Literally everything in the same price range is better
It’s $20 quality sold for $40
Yeah that whinging from that source tells us it’s an adequate target.
I'm going to keep coming back with this until some-habs takes me up on it.
is there a list of us bourbons not from the red states?
Koval is an Illinois distillery with excellent whiskey, including bourbon. I'm sure there's a few in Oregon and Washington as well.

Dear Mr. Daniel,
I'm sorry that a store pulling things from their shelves is hurting your business, but I thought you should know that this is not even the tip of the iceberg.
Regardless of what any store does, I will simply not be buying Jack Daniel's, probably ever, along with a slew of other things, as many as I possibly can.
There are so many better whiskeys around the world that I certainly don't need to.
I empathize with the collateral damage this may cause, and hope that something, anything really, is eventually enough for y'all fuckers to start thinking about getting your shit together.
In the meantime, I will simply Buy Anything But American.
I am just one person, but I am not alone.
Sincerely,
Fix your shit or get fucked,
A random Canadian

American here. You aren't alone by any stretch. Once people and countries establish alternatives they very likely won't switch back. Farmers found out the hard way the first time but they aren't very smart so here we are. Also, tariffs are considered an act of war by many.
its going to end up like soybean tariffs with china, china found other sources of soybeans from asia, and south america, and largely ditched USA. im sure canada will do the same with alcohol.
Alcohol will be easy to replace but have a long term impact. Canada has had a growing micro-distillery industry for years now, pulling US liquor from shelves and the general increaseing "Buy Canada" intuitive creates a significant business opportunity for them. This will force people to switch from their usual drink, and once someone finds something else they like, it will be hard to court them back even after the trade war is done.

Cool. You're a giant corporation with pockets deep enough to keep making meaningful statements. Keep it up.
(They won't)
I stole this photo from Reddit just for this occasion
World’s tiniest cello?

Take it up with Trump, not Canada
I think what's wild is that Canada only makes 1% of Jack Daniel's sales while Mexico makes up 7% of their sales.
If Mexico pulls Jack off their shelves, it'll hit harder.
They should do it immediately. What the fuck are they even doing?
Without doing any research, I'd be hard pressed to believe they didn't support trump all the way.
