Whiskey: In line with overall average<br />

The Whiskey category overall is not as trendy as<br />

Vodka, but <strong>the</strong>re is growth in several markets.<br />

France saw an increase in <strong>the</strong> number-three brand<br />

which helped drive <strong>the</strong> year-over-year increase. In<br />

Great Britain, two of <strong>the</strong> top 3 brands showed<br />

strong increases, despite <strong>the</strong> overall small category<br />

growth.<br />

Russia is a smaller market, but Whiskey<br />

consumption is growing <strong>the</strong>re, and combined with<br />

<strong>the</strong> growth of consumer income, <strong>the</strong>re is an<br />

increase to <strong>the</strong> more expensive, premium<br />

beverages. This is fueling strong increases in<br />

Whiskey overall in Russia (+54%).<br />

Poland was ano<strong>the</strong>r small market that showed<br />

strong growth (+34%), coming <strong>the</strong> fastest from <strong>the</strong><br />

supermarket channel. This growth was driven by<br />

small, specific segments such as single malt<br />

Scotches, American or Irish Whiskey.<br />

NOTE: It is important to remember that this study<br />

looks at retail sales mainly in <strong>the</strong> Grocery and<br />

Mass Merchandise channels. In many markets,<br />

specialty liquor stores are not included, which is<br />

why market size may seem small. It is more<br />

important to consider year-over-year growth<br />

within markets than comparisons across markets.<br />
