Glenn Raudins Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 One good source is Adams Liquor Handbook. It is produced annually. Usually a close by metropolitan library has it. It contains breakdowns by state. I have some data for 2003, which showed Colorado (I figured you wanted home turf numbers) had the following percentage breakdown: American Whiskey: 13.2% Imported (Canadian+Scotch+Irish): ~18.5% Gin: 5.4% Vodka: 26.7% Nationally, the percentages were very close to Colorado's.

Odyssey Spirits Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 In my research I found a site that publishes the same data in the costly journals for free. Here are a couple great examples that may be helpful for you: Distilled spirits consumption by category, 2006-2007 (thousands 9-liter cases) Executive summary: 2007 in review.

Glenn Raudins Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Distilled spirits consumption by category, 2006-2007 (thousands 9-liter cases) Nice find! That link contains data from the Adams Liquor Handbook (or the Liquor Handbook as it is now known) that I mentioned. Might save a trip to the library. In case you have about $1000 that needs a home, you can buy the handbook here: 2008 Liquor Handbook This pretty much shows that across the years there isn't a large shift in market share between the various types of spirits, so any given year's data will probably give you a good idea of the relative markets for each type of spirit.

Guest Liberty Bar - Seattle Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The government publishes monthly sales and production figures at ttb.gov. Yep, I finally was able to find those statistics, and they were very, very interesting to say the least. Very encouraging. Thanks, scohar, for that info. A.
