Here’s a look at the five of the most engaged-with posts on Twitter that referred to spirits in the three months to the end of December.
The popularity is based on total engagements (likes and retweets) received on tweets from around 150 beverage experts tracked by GlobalData’s ‘Consumer Influencer Platform’.

4. Great strides in US whiskey?
Kentucky-based Fred Minnick stayed close to home with a post on Owensboro’s Green River Distilling Co.
Since they scrapped rapid aging efforts, Green River Distillery has been making great whiskey that’s now coming to age. And let me tell you, what Jacob Call is doing (post OZ Tyler) may be the biggest turnaround in whiskey history. Look for big things from them in 2022.

2. Ice isn’t good for you
Whisky specialist Mark Gillespie raised a glass to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention in late-December.
The @CDCgov now recommends against putting ice in your whisky. I’m glad science finally sees things my way. #ScienceRules
