Market Trends and Sales Performance
Bulleit Bourbon Continues to Dominate Drizly Sales; Top 20 Drizly Bourbons for Q1 highlights key market events. For the first quarter of 2021, Bulleit continues its dominance on the online platform Drizly, which connects to 4,000 liquor stores across the country. Reasoning: Simple. Diageo, Bulleit’s parent company, has focused on digital marketing. The next big winner is Beam Suntory with four in the top 10. According to the Drizly Top 20, Q1 2021 data, the leading brands are:
- 1. Bulleit Bourbon
- 2. Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky
- 3. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- 4. Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey
- 5. Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- 6. Buffalo Trace Bourbon
- 7. Evan Williams Bourbon
- 8. Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon
- 9. Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- 10. Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Somewhat perplexing is how the seemingly impossible-to-find Blanton’s continues to be in the top 10 on these Drizly lists. It was in the top 10 all of last year and finished No. 8 here. Most Drizly affiliated stores are marking up Blanton’s significantly, perhaps showing that the online market is where Blanton’s thrives.
