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
Go tell it to your dumb ass president.
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!
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.
I drank crown and coke as my main drink for like 18 years… I’ve learned a few things along the way. First, it’s better to use caffeine free coke. Second, Canadian Mist is 95% as good for 50% of the price. Third, a small squirt of lime is an improvement.
Also, I 100% agree on Crown vs. Jack; however Crown vs. Buffalo Trace is a different story.
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.
There is some nonsense law about naming and Kentucky but almost any small batch local whiskey is going to be better than mass produced stuff.
If it doesn’t come from the Bourbon region of Kentucky, it’s just ✨sparkling whiskey ✨
Sparkling whiskey sounds horrible but I’d try it. But what I’d try is a low bar, curiosity once had me put msg in whiskey
Of course there is
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,

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.
I 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”.
no the joke is I like something that smells debateably awful.
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.
But Four Roses tho :(
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?
I’m stealing it for the next occasion. thanks!
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!
