US Spirits Sales Rise in June But Remain Down Year-Over-Year According to NABCA
June spirits sales in the US saw an increase due to additional selling days, according to data from the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA). The six extra selling days across control states contributed to a rise in both value and volume of sales. However, over the rolling 12-month period ending June 2026, spirits sales declined on both metrics. In June alone, spirits volumes rose by 4.8% year-over-year to 5.3 million nine-litre cases, while value increased by 3.2% to $1.12 billion. Despite this monthly growth, the annual data showed a decline in volume (-0.5%) and value sales (-2.5%). Cachaca and cocktails were among the few categories that saw increases over the year. The NABCA represents states where alcohol distribution is controlled by state governments. While most spirits categories experienced some level of growth, brandy/Cognac, Canadian whisky, rum, and Scotch all declined in both volume and value.
