Open audience directory →Frequently asked questions
Which liquor brand is most popular in the US in 2026?
Malibu Rum has the largest measured US audience with approximately 4.3M people showing active interest over the trailing 12 months.
Does this include ready-to-drink products?
Yes, where they are classified under spirits. Ready-to-drink brands have grown quickly and several now outrank established labels on audience while remaining far smaller in volume.
Is this the same as sales share?
No. Sales share comes from distribution and retail data. This measures people showing active interest, which moves earlier and reveals brands gaining attention before that shows up in depletions.
Why is the age split relevant in this category?
Because spirits audiences differ sharply by age and that difference drives both media choice and the regulatory constraints around it.
How often is this updated?
Weekly, from the latest search-behavior data.
