Canadians Causing Trouble Again.

Not a distribution issue. Ontario was the biggest importer of U.S. liquor. This goes back to when the tariffs were first placed on Canada and Ontario responded by clearing the shelves of all U.S. liquor knowing full well that certain sectors would be hit hard. We like your bourbon. Alberta and Saskatchewan still carry American liquor but the other two big importers, Quebec and British Columbia, still prohibit sales. Will be nice when all of this crap is behind us.

Oops. I kinda forgot about that. It really is unfortunate, and totally agree. It will be nice to move on from this craziness and get closer to normal. I’m afraid whatever “normal” was, is gone…

When the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission put the remaining stock of US wine and whiskey back on the shelf - because why let it go to waste* - I picked up a bunch of California wines for the missus and a couple 1792 Small Batch, a Jim Beam Double Oak and a Buffalo Trace for myself. I don't drink a whole lot of bourbon, so I'm covered for the time being.

*The NSLC boycott of any more purchasing from the US is still on and the proceeds from the sale of remaining stock is going to food banks.

Looks like 1792 has a new rye version, said to be very very good, especially for new rye drinkers. Jim beam is consistent, but I normally have a few varieties of knob creek(Jim beams yummier cousin) instead. In my area buffalo trace is hit or miss, mostly miss. Got lucky recently and grabbed one for me, and one for my son for his birthday. So many good ones out there. Just wanted to comment on the ones you mentioned. Cheers
