Jack Daniels has a nickname here and it’s not positive xD
“Drain cleaner”
Need more retaliation from countries. Everytime America complains there needs to be a resounding Nelson “Ha Ha”.
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
Oh no. Anyways drink canadian. Or have a nice scotch. Really anything but American
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?
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*.
Wonder what happens if more Americans stop buying their alcohol?
I don’t buy Jack Daniels, but I’m gonna not buy Jack Daniels even harder now.
I’m also not buying any bourbon for the foreseeable future.
Recently got Swear Jar Canadian Whisky. Haven’t tried it yet. Any good? I feel like I’m gonna need the jar after it’s empty.
Random Canadian dude says U.S. threatening Canada’s sovereignty 'worse than pulling alcohol off shelves"
Random American here agreeing with Random Canadian brother or sister. I stand on guard for thee!
What’s really sad is that Brown-Forman Corp (owner of Jack Daniels brand) donated to mostly Democratic state/local candidates, and no federal / national party candidates.
Take it up with Trump, not Canada
I’m not much of a JD fan in general, it’s an OK whiskey but it doesn’t do anything that plenty of other whiskeys don’t do better.
I had a personal boycott of JD going for a few years, my wife and I are both whiskey drinkers and we visited TN for the 2017 eclipse. We decided while we were there we might as well make a detour to the distillery. I’m sure with the eclipse it was probably one of the busiest tourism weeks they’ve had there, so we weren’t surprised to find a long line waiting for us. We made the most of it, it took us about 45 minutes to get to the front of the line, it snaked through a little mini museum, and it gave us some time to decide which tour we wanted to do.
But when we got to the front of the line we were informed that all of the tours we were interested in were sold out, and the only one available was the one that didn’t allow you to try any whiskey at the end.
At no point during the 45 minutes we were standing around did they make any sort of announcement or put a sign up or anything to let us know that the other tours were sold out, if they had we probably would have decided to just go on that tour, but that really pissed us off, so we left.
I decided that I wouldn’t give Jack any of my money after that, not that I was buying a whole lot of it anyway.
A year or two ago they ran an ad campaign with some drag queens. I decided that my personal boycott had gone on long enough and I could reward that little bit of token wokeness, although I have to admit that I still haven’t bought any JD since then.
And like too many other companies it looks like they’ve now rolled back their DEI initiatives, so fuck 'em, back on the boycott list they go.
Now as a whisky drinker in the US, I’m disappointed that there’s going to be tariffs affecting Canadian whisky, I’m a little torn as to whether I should support my favorite Canadian brands or avoid them since the tariffs are going to be funneling money to the trump administration.
I’m certainly going to be cutting back on my American whiskeys and many other American products in protest. I encourage my fellow whiskey drinkers to the north to do the same, you guys make some fine rye, I’ll gladly take some Alberta Premium over almost anything made in the States.
I suspect I’m going to find myself drinking a lot of Scotch, Irish, and Japanese whisk(e)ys for the next few years, but I look forward to the day when I can hopefully enjoy some Canadian rye again without Trump’s tariffs.
