The parent company, (Brown-Forman Corporation), 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.”
Brown-Forman Corporation
Brown-Forman Corporation is an American family-controlled publicly traded company, one of the largest in the spirits and wine business. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, it manufactures several very well known brands throughout the world, including Jack Daniel’s, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve, GlenDronach, BenRiach, Glenglassaugh, Herradura, Korbel, and Chambord. Brown-Forman formerly owned Southern Comfort and Tuaca before selling them off in 2016.
As of fiscal 2024 the company had gross sales of $5.32 billion and net sales of $4.178 billion.[2] The roughly 40 members of the Brown family, cousins that are descendants of founder George Garvin Brown, control more than 70% of the voting shares[3] and in 2016 had a net worth of $12.3 billion.[4]

Did they support the dorito in chief?
Is the pic of the whiskey they put out with his name on it, not showing up? Sometimes they don’t, I’m honestly asking.
Oh shit, didn’t even register. Hahaha, get rekt, assholes! Thanks for pointing it out.
That’s a custom engraving by a third party, not put out by Woodford Reserve directly.
isn’t that, like, illegal (or pursuable) in the us?
if I don’t hear about them pursuing it, it’s the same as endorsing it. isn’t that the way it works in america?
Not illegal.
I can’t find anything on it either way. There were Jack Daniels gift sets with trump on it too. No matter what, they didn’t have a problem with it and offered it as gift sets at the very least.

100% not an official product. Anyone with a laser engraver can make these.
