Ontario Premier Doug Ford has promised to keep U.S. alcohol off LCBO shelves until the tariffs placed on Canadian goods by President Donald Trump are dropped 'entirely.'
I’m a simple guy who likes Jim Beam Black label, Jack, Woodford Reserve, etc. I’ve been swearing off American whiskeys since this tariff shit started. I just bought Bushmills for the first time and have been enjoying it.
I’m all for some suggestions. I’m not picky, so single malt, blended or whatever is fine. I just like to drink on the rocks or neat and want to enjoy the flavors. I’d be open to blue state whiskeys otherwise anything else is good.

Check out your local distilleries, they likely have some good stuff.
Absolutely. I always forget about local distilleries.
American here. My wife and I are big fans of Jameson Black Barrel and Canada’s own “Swear Jar” whiskey.
Never had the Jameson black barrel. That’s a new one to try! Never heard of “Swear Nar” but I do like that name. 😃
Swear Jar is amazing. Hints of caramel and other deliciousness.
Japanese whiskeys are great, but they can get expensive. Whiskeys made in blue states are likely to be more craft-oriented and also be expensive.

Most of those are in Napa/Sonoma/Paso, which are expensive wine areas. They mostly have $75/bottle bourbons.

Those are in Portland, and they are also quite expensive compared to Jack and Woodford.
Woodinville is from WA and is pretty good. A bit more expensive than your normal bourbons, but not crazy.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m willing to spend a little to try something!
Highly recommend the mid tier Jameson and Dingle whiskeys
Nice! I have always enjoyed the typical Jameson, but I’ll check out the mid tier stuff.
If you enjoy Jameson and the Bushmills give Tullamore Dew a shot. It’s another exceptionally smooth delicious Irish whiskey.
I finished a giant bottle of that niagra whiskey last week and it was decent.
Thinking of trying a Japanese brand next week
Oh, nice! I’ll look for the Niagara one. What Japanese brand are you looking at?
I live in the Chicago area and we have a chain called Binny’s that carries a ton of alcohols from all over. I’d love to see if I can find these.
For relaxing times, I make it Suntory times.
Excellent! I’ll give that one a try.
