Liquor Bee Monthly Market Pulse – September 2026

Sep 13
4 min read

Welcome to the third edition of the Liquor Bee Monthly Market Pulse, our monthly look at product trends and sales insights from across the Liquor Bee platform.


With July, August, and September reports now available, some patterns are beginning to emerge. Familiar products continue leading unit sales, several newer releases keep appearing near the top, and repeat slow movers offer a starting point for reviewing inventory.


September’s strongest theme is consistency. The same core products remain sales leaders.

Monaco holds its lead

Monaco Peach Mango has led this list in all three editions, with reported sales of 812 units in July, 874 in August, and 812 in September.


September is below August’s peak, so the figures do not show continuous growth. They do show a recurring leader worth tracking against your own store’s sales.



Crown Royal remains near the top

Crown Royal Deluxe with the Realtree Camo Bag recorded 723 units in both July and August, followed by 699 in September. Its sales remain close to earlier reported levels/


That combination makes it worth reviewing existing stock before the next order, particularly for stores that have seen steady local movement.


Cocktail-oriented products keep appearing

Toucan’s mixer combinations, André Peach Mimosa, and Casamigos Classic Lime Margarita appear in all three editions. Their repeated presence keeps flavored and cocktail-oriented products in the spotlight.


Several reported sales totals are unchanged across the editions, so these results support a recurring presence more clearly than an accelerating trend. Your store’s own sales history can help determine which products are earning a regular place on the shelf.

The top four have held their positions across all three editions

Taaka Vodka 80 (100ml) remains the unit-volume leader, reporting 31,628 units in July, 31,623 in August, and 31,568 in September.


Fireball 50ml and both Burnett’s sizes also show similar reported volumes across the three editions. Their repeated positions make them useful products to include in routine inventory checks.


Nine of the ten best sellers are 375ml or smaller

That same size mix appears in July, August, and September. Small formats continue to occupy most of the leading positions, with Tito’s 1L the only larger bottle in September’s top ten.


For retailers, this is a reason to review shelf availability and reorder timing for the small-format products that perform well locally. Unit rankings do not measure profitability, so margins and inventory costs should also inform purchasing decisions.


An August increase has not become a sustained trend

Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy (375ml) moved from 7,257 units in July to 8,099 in August, then 7,287 in September.


September is close to July’s level. Looking across all three reports helps put August’s increase in context before making a larger inventory commitment.

Repeat appearances deserve attention


Glenfiddich 12 Year Scotch (1.75L) appears in the featured slow-mover lists in all three editions. Jordan Chardonnay, Maestro Dobel Añejo, and St. Roch Vodka appeared in July and return in September. Proper No. Twelve 1.75L appears in both


August and September.

These are useful prompts to review local inventory. Low platform sales do not establish how many stores stocked an item or how long it was available.


Before reordering, check when the product last sold in your store, how much remains on hand, and whether it serves a regular customer. Placement, pricing, and seasonality may also help explain its performance.



September’s list includes eggnog and a gift set, making timing another consideration. Review existing stock against your seasonal purchasing plans before bringing in more.


💡 Putting September’s Patterns to Work

Three editions provide a broader perspective, and the most useful observations are practical:

  • Give recurring best sellers regular attention. Check stock and reorder timing for products that consistently move in your store.

  • Monitor availability on featured new products. Several show fewer available cases in each successive report.

  • Review repeat slow movers before adding inventory. Use local sales history to decide whether to replenish, adjust placement, or hold off.


The Monthly Market Pulse is designed to give Liquor Bee stores another source of information for purchasing decisions. Your customers, market, pricing, and product mix determine how these broader patterns apply.


Before your next order, ask: What keeps selling, what is getting harder to replenish, and what do I already have enough of?



We’ll see you next month with another Market Pulse!
