The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a recall for Bombay Sapphire in Ontario on May 2, but has extended the recall nationwide after further investigation of the affected product.
The firm sells alcohol products around the world including Grey Goose Vodka and several well-known rum products.
Canadian health authorities have launched a nationwide recall of Bombay Sapphire gin after bottles containing almost double the advertised amount of alcohol were discovered.
The drink was supposed to be 40% alcohol by volume.
Bacardi, which owns Bombay Sapphire, said that the company began investigating the bottles due to an "isolated customer complaint", according to CNN.
"There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product", said the agency. The gin was sold in Canada only, in eight provinces - Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan - though the recall has been extended across the country.

Lee was killed by an improvised explosive device while advising Iraqi security forces battling ISIS inside Mosul. It goes on to say, "He was a devoted father and son, a true professional and a wonderful husband".
"Remember, the product isn't unsafe", Bacardi spokeswoman Amy Federman told the Post.
This recall was triggered by the company, the CFIA said.
Joking aside, mixing drinks with twice as much alcohol as expected could be very unsafe.
"If it's going to be drunk in a guzzle, it's very risky", Grupp said. Bacardi strongly advised people to refrain from drinking it. It's just too much alcohol....
The code on the affected bottles reads L16304W and the bottles should be returned to the store of purchase, said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
