Global Whiskey Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.20% During 2026-2035, Aided by the Increased Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages

Whiskey, a distilled alcoholic beverage derived from fermented grain mash, including malted barley, rye, wheat, or corn, is widely enjoyed as a rejuvenating and recreational drink. The production of high-quality whiskey involves essential steps such as mashing, fermenting, blending, and bottling, with distillation playing a pivotal role in elevating its alcoholic content. Aged in charred white oak barrels, whiskey undergoes a maturation process that enhances its overall quality. The whiskey market growth can be attributed to increasing demand for and consumption of alcoholic beverages and rising consumer disposable incomes, particularly in emerging nations.

Moderate whiskey consumption is linked to potential health benefits such as stroke prevention, improved metabolism, and heart function. By product type, Scotch whiskey holds the largest market share, with premium whiskey being the most preferred quality. The Asia Pacific leads the global market, driven by rising living standards and growing demand for premium beverages in countries like India and China. Advancements in alcoholic beverage manufacturing, rising disposable incomes, urbanisation, and the popularity of premium and super-premium whiskeys contribute to the market growth, with manufacturers actively promoting products through various channels, including online portals. Organic whiskeys are gaining traction among consumers seeking innovative and distinctive drinking experiences.

In June 2022, Brown–Forman Corporation (NYSE: BFA) and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) announced a global collaboration to introduce a branded, ready-to-drink (RTD) pre-mixed cocktail, featuring the iconic Jack & Coke. The Jack Daniel’s & Coca-Cola RTD, crafted with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Coca-Cola, was set for a worldwide release, with Mexico being the initial launch market in late 2022. The beverage, featuring the two renowned trademarks, adheres to responsible marketing practices, includes clear age-related symbols, and offers a zero-sugar variant alongside the standard version with varying alcohol beverage volume based on market regulations.

In November 2022, High West Distillery, a Constellation Brands-owned establishment, partnered with The Prisoner Wine Company to unveil two limited-edition offerings – The Prisoner’s Share, a blend of High West bourbon and rye whiskeys finished in The Prisoner wine barrels, and Complicit, a red blend aged for 12 months in various barrels.
