Black Fox Farm & Distillery grows grain, fruit and flowers on its own Saskatchewan farm and distills them into estate gin and Canadian whisky.
Black Fox's gin and Canadian whisky are Canadian spirits under HTS 2208.50.00 and 2208.30.60, which carried a 50% US duty from August 22, 2026 and, since September 29, 2026, can no longer be imported into the United States at all. The distillery describes itself as "an award-winning brand with international distribution and acclaim", and Reuters reported on September 29, 2026 that co-owner John Cote had hoped to turn to Canadian shelves as the US ban took effect.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 29, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
