Get in the Know: Premium Rum Sales Are Strong! It seems that premium (or sipping) rums are finally having their (long prophesied) moment! According to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, the sales of premium, super- and ultra-premium rums grew globally by 10% between 2021 and 2022, and are expected to continue growing at 4% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) until 2027. The largest markets for premium and above rums are the US, France and the UK, all realizing double-digit CAGR volume growth between 2017 and 2022. IWSR figures show that growth of super- and ultra-premium rums far outpaces that of the standard/premium category, due to growing consumer preference for dark spirits and an up-and-coming investor market. By contrast, the standard and lower-priced rum segments continue to experience declining sales, resulting in an overall contraction of the rum category. 📷: @decanter #getintheknow #rum #caribbeanrum #spirits #tastesavoir #tasteknowledge
