Canadian Liqueur Brands

The Canadian bottles are Sortilège in Montreal, McGuinness in Windsor, and Cabot Trail maple cream in Cowansville. Quebec sells that maple cream as Coureur des Bois. Malibu says most of its coconut blend is finished in Canada, but it never names the city. Baileys is the name on the LCBO top spirits list, and that cream is made in Dublin. Kahlúa started in Veracruz. Corby only represents it here.
