Here are quotes from the 2015 Newsletter sent by K&L wines (www.klwines.com) at the end of 2015 to thousands of followers.
They are predicting Brandy to become the next best thing in the spirit category.
In particular, they are very enthusiastic about Copper & Kings Brandy from Kentucky.
I found K&L Wines to be a good source for trends in the US for Spirits.

That is Copper & Kings Brandy.
As you may or may not know, we’ve immersed ourselves in the world of French brandy over the past few years. We’ve been traveling to Cognac and Armagnac, working directly with small producers ... The reaction has been quite positive from spirits fans across the nation and it was exactly that commotion that caught Joe Heron’s attention. He’d been following our foray into grape-distillates with close attention, hoping that one retailer out there would understand the incredible value that brandy possessed. You see, Joe had started a micro-distillery in the middle of Kentucky that made brandy instead of Bourbon.
The next big thing is here, spirits fans.
It's a brandy that will change the way you think about brandy. It's a brandy that will change the way you think about spirits in general."

"Maybe it's those big old pot stills or just the Kentucky Magic, but this is brandy that will change your mind about the whole category."

" If this was Bourbon it would be three times the price and sold out...don't sit around waiting for shortage to end (it's gonna be a long time comin') get with the program and drink smart."
