Company behind Jack Daniel's says boycott is 'significant' as sales to Canada fall 62% (www.cbc.ca)

The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.

After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.

During a conference call with investors Thursday, officials with Brown-Forman — the parent company of brands such as Jack Daniel's and Woodford Reserve — noted other pressures, but said the boycott is causing a "significant impact."

Only 62%? A lot of people need to get with the program.

I haven't bought a bottle of liquor from a Republican state in a long time and intend to keep it that way. The west coast makes some fine bourbon style whiskeys if you *know where to look.
