Andrew Heublein, a German-American entrepreneur from Connecticut, popularized the Canadian whisky liqueur in America.
After Prohibition, Heublein acquired distribution rights for numerous foreign spirits, including Yukon Jack.
Today, the Yukon Jack brand is owned by the Sazerac Company, a globally operating producer of alcoholic beverages. The high-proof liqueur is still produced in Valleyfield, in the Canadian province of Quebec, with bottling taking place in the neighboring United States.
