Ireland’s embattled whiskey sector could fill the gap left on Canadian liquor shelves following the removal of US drinks products in reaction to Donald Trump’s tariffs against America’s northern neighbour, a key government-owned alcohol distributor has told the Irish Government.
Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon has met the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to discuss the potential for Irish whiskey to replace US spirits on the shelves of Ontario’s shops, bars and restaurants, he told the Sunday Independent.
