The landscape of the spirits industry is undergoing significant change. Once defined by rapid growth and strong profitability, the sector is now facing new headwinds. Shifting consumption habits among younger generations, rising expectations around premiumization and craftsmanship, and increasing competitive pressures are reshaping the market in real time. To unpack these trends, Aimee Rice from Riveron will moderate a conversation with Kevin Larin also from Riveron and Chris Wiedmar from Hogshead.
Attendees will then enjoy a guided bourbon tasting led by SpiritFilledUSA of Morgantown, West Virginia. This session provides an inviting introduction to the world of bourbon from a consumer’s perspective. Participants will sample five intentionally selected offerings that showcase the diverse styles defining today’s bourbon landscape. The experience blends approachable education, thoughtful discussion, and a deeper appreciation for what’s in the glass.
This event is ideal for commercial lenders and borrowers, legal and financial advisors, investors, private debt fund managers, and industry professionals eager to stay ahead of market trends.
