Trending Spirits to Watch in 2024

As we move into 2024, certain trends in the world of spirits are becoming more prominent. Here are a few categories and styles that are gaining popularity:

• Small-Batch Whiskies: The rise of small-batch whiskies is all about craftsmanship and character. Distilleries like Amber Lane are producing limited-run whiskies that focus on innovative barrel finishes, bringing out unique flavour profiles that mass-produced whiskies can’t match. These whiskies are perfect for those who want to try something rare and distinctive.
• Peated Whiskies: While peated whiskies have always had their dedicated fans, 2024 is seeing a resurgence in demand for bold, smoky flavours. Brands like Furneaux Distillery are leading the charge with new releases that showcase the power and depth of peat.
• Sustainable Spirits: Sustainability continues to be a growing focus in the spirits industry. Many distilleries are adopting eco-friendly practices, using locally sourced ingredients and minimising waste. At Barrel & Batch, we’re proud to stock spirits like Bacardi Reserva Limitada, crafted with environmental responsibility in mind.
