Kahlúa Original
16% alcohol, and 19.7 grams of sugar in 50 ml.
Pernod Ricard lists Kahlúa Original as sugar, water and a coffee extract built on rum, arabica coffee, colour and vanillin. A 50 ml pour is 123 kcal. The same page says the brand was born in Veracruz, Mexico, in 1936, and has been part of Pernod Ricard since 2005.
Not a Canadian still. Corby represents Kahlúa in Canada. That filing is a sales contract, not a plant address. The owner page never names a Canadian bottling line.

Our Canadian score
Imported
Kahlúa Original is Pernod Ricard's coffee liqueur, not a Canadian one. The owner page gives 16% alcohol, arabica coffee and rum, and a 1936 start in Veracruz. Corby sells it in Canada. No Canadian factory is named.
Score breakdown (45% evidenced, low confidence)
“Born in Veracruz, Mexico in 1936. Made with 100% Arabica coffee beans and rum.”
This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
