Key Highlights
Vodka is traditionally considered to be the best "canvas" for experimenting with other ingredients, but among people aged 25 to 34, whiskey drinkers are more likely to enjoy experimenting with different flavors. This inclination to challenge traditional whiskey conventions has shaped innovation in flavored dark spirits.
The proportion of consumers who are highly influenced by claims of "authentic," "home-made," or "real" has grown from 22% in 2009 to 42% in 2011. Indeed, the thriving craft beer movement is testament to consumers' pursuit of authentic products and artisanal methods, which is similarly driving interest in small-scale and craft distilling.
