The market is also seeing a surge in interest for bourbons with unique aging processes and special barrel finishes. Distilleries are releasing limited-edition bottles boasting extra aging, specific barrel finishes, or distinctive cask types. These unique offerings create excitement and a collector's mentality among bourbon enthusiasts, further driving demand.

Premium and super-premium bourbons mark an important trend in the industry. Higher-priced premium bourbons cater to consumers desiring exclusivity and elegance, while also providing distilleries with higher profit margins. “Flavoured and small-batch bourbons also emerge as a significant market highlight. Innovations in flavouring and small-batch production create unique bourbons that attract collectors and connoisseurs, as well as meeting the demands of the ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail market,” explains a research analyst at the company.

When it comes to buying bourbon, consumers are increasingly looking for deals. Warehouse clubs like Costco, and Sam's Club are expected to see the fastest growth in bourbon sales within the forecast period. These stores offer bulk purchases at attractive prices, making it easier for budget-conscious bourbon lovers to stock up.

Despite its popularity, bourbon faces competition from other spirits like gin, tequila, and craft beers. Consumers are always up for trying new things. However, bourbon remains a versatile spirit, perfect for sipping neat or using to create a wide range of delicious cocktails.

Within the bourbon market itself, certain categories are experiencing even faster growth. In 2022, the barrel finished category reigned supreme. These bourbons take on fruity and wine-like notes by being finished in port casks, creating a unique flavour profile for adventurous drinkers. On the other hand, bourbons with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 46-55% also dominated the market in 2022. These mid-range bourbons offer the perfect balance for both sipping and mixing, adding depth and complexity to cocktails.

Geographically, North America is unsurprisingly expected to remain the dominant force in the bourbon market. The longstanding cocktail culture in the US, featuring classics like the Old Fashioned, and Mint Julep, continues to fuel demand for bourbon. However, the fastest growth is expected to come from the Asia Pacific region. The rise of cocktail bars, and the growing popularity of mixology are driving interest in bourbon there. Mixologists in this region are getting creative with bourbon, using it to craft unique and exciting new drinks.

Barrel Finished Bourbons Take the Crown

Bourbon finished in unique casks like wine barrels is the hottest trend, offering new flavour profiles for adventurous drinkers.

This segment is expected to see the fastest growth as barrel select bourbons, hand-picked for exceptional quality, gain popularity among collectors.

46-55% ABV is the Preferred Punch

Consumers are increasingly opting for convenient at-home drinking with a wider selection of bourbons at their fingertips.
