When trade soured, this American liquor maker moved to Canada

The American liquor maker that moved to Canada was **Sazerac Company**, specifically for its popular **Fireball Cinnamon Whisky**.

In 2018, Sazerac began blending and bottling Fireball in Quebec, Canada, to circumvent the 10% retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on American-made spirits. These tariffs were in response to the Trump administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs, causing a significant increase in the cost of importing Fireball and leading to a sharp decline in its sales among its key demographic of Canadian students.
