Some numbers I culled from the DISCUS data over the past eight years:
If you just look at volume consumed, 2.7 billion liters in 2024
o Vodka: 667 million liters (24.4%), trending down a point or two last three years
o Cocktails (RTDs): 658 million (24.0%), trending up in a big way, double-digit growth every year
o Whiskey: 647.5 million liters (23.7%), trending down four-ish percent past two years
o Agave: 289.8 million liters (10.6%), trending up but growth is slowing
o Rum: 186.1 million liters (6.8%), trending down in an escalating pattern
o Cordials: 180.7 million liters (6.6%), trending down four-ish percent past two years, like whiskey
o Brandy: 105.4 million liters (3.9%), big hits past three years
If you look at dollars spent, $36.2 billion in 2024
