In the United States, there’s no liquor trendier than tequila. According to The Spirits Business (TSB), agave-based spirits overtook American whiskey value-wise in 2022 and surpassed it in terms of volume the next year.

As revealed by the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. (DISCUS), tequila and mezcal sold 31.6 million cases combined last year — only a 5.7 percent volume increase year-over-year. Value grew as well, though only by 7.9 percent to reach a combined $6.5 billion. In such a flourishing category, it’s only natural that some brands continue to outperform others.
