Will Shanken News Daily report at least one new flavored spirits product launch from a top-10 US spirits brand in the first two weeks of May 2026?

Question

Flavored line extensions remain the most common new product category across major spirits houses.

Accepted Answer

Within May 1–15, 2026, Shanken News Daily reports one new flavored spirits SKU (Caliente cinnamon-flavored Blanco Tequila on May 6), but it is from John Anthony Wine & Spirits/Lo Siento, which is not a DISCUS top‑10 U.S. spirits company by volume. Other in-window flavor launches relate to beer/malt (Modelo Cheladas) or mixers (Bene), so there is no qualifying flavored spirits SKU from a top‑10 DISCUS company in the specified window.
