The Canadian market for American whiskey is nearly gone.
Apparently they are taking advantage of this to renovate the distillery, and no workers are being let go, just reassigned. I guess that's the best they could do, given the huge drop in sales.
Not firing the workers indicates they do plan to reopen the distillery after they complete the renovation.
I think it's also a gamble that the tariff madness will be over by then, and Canadians will relent of their boycott.
