Jack Daniel's maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off shelves 'worse than tariff'
Several Canadian provinces have taken U.S. liquor off store shelves as part of retaliatory measures against President Donald Trump's tariffs.

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 CanadianI can't even smell the stuff it's horrible.
And I drink Laphroaig neat.
Liquid bandaids
Are Jack and Laphroaig on similar levels? I know import vs domestic drives the prices apart some, but I just assumed Jack was more like a "cheap top shelf".
Oh goodness me, no. Think Rose Art vs Crayola, respectively.
They seem like different animals to me. I wouldn't compare the two.
I can't speak of higher end Jack, but Laphroaig base is far better than Jack base.
Yeah that's been my experience, too, which is why the comment comparing the two confused me.
Someone commented that it was the smell they were comparing... not the taste. I like peaty smell so didn't make sense.
Laphroaig is a punch you in the face level peaty/smokey Scotch
It's one of my favorites!
I'd buy some but it's likely to be 150% more expensive by the time I get to it.
I wonder what happens to the US economy if many citizens stop making large or discretionary purchases.
I don't know either, but it can't be good.
no the joke is I like something that smells debateably awful.

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.
But Four Roses tho :(
