Whiskey Exports in 2021: $1.8 billion

The United States of America, or simply America, is the world’s largest economy and the only superpower. Whiskey has a central role in American history, as it was the only alcoholic beverage that could be distilled in the country after the American Revolution in the late 1700s. Since then, the industry has come a long way and has a laundry list of different brands. The primary American whiskey types include rye, malt, wheat, Bourbon, and grain whiskey. One of the most prominent American whiskey companies is Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF-B), known for its Jack Daniel’s whiskey – often called the most popular whiskey in America.
