March 5 (Reuters) - Jack Daniel’s maker Brown-Forman’s CEO Lawson Whiting said on Wednesday Canadian provinces taking American liquor off store shelves was “worse than a tariff” and a “disproportionate response” to levies imposed by the Trump administration.

Several Canadian provinces have taken U.S. liquor off store shelves as part of retaliatory measures against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Canadians are steering away from U.S. goods, sports events and trips following the recent imposition of tariffs, which have left them stirred, despite the deep ties between the two countries.

    Bourbons have their place, you can’t really make an old fashioned with a scotch … I mean you can … but you shouldn’t. That said you shouldnt use Jack Daniels for one either.

      Eh, Jack isn’t really a bourbon. It’s made with a starter but that’s still not really a bourbon. That would be Jim. I don’t particularly care for either, but when I was drinking, I preferred a good Irish or Scottish neat.

      Occasionally I liked a cocktail with Cointreau, Tequila and lime on the rocks. I forget what it was called.

        I’m staying out of the whiskey war, but…

        This is just a margarita on the rocks, sometimes called a classic margarita. 👍
