Gain on Sale of Business [Abstract]  
Gain on Sale of Business Gain on Sale of BusinessOn July 31, 2020, we sold the Early Times, Canadian Mist, and Collingwood brands for $177 million in cash. The sale reflects the continued evolution of our portfolio strategy to focus on premium spirits brands. The total book value of the related business assets included in the sale was $50 million, consisting largely of inventories, the Canadian Mist production assets, and intellectual property. As a result of the sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $127 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
