On Apr 30, a highly limited Stitzel Reserve 31-Year-Old bourbon release coincided with a 4.2% gain. However, earlier product and marketing updates across Captain Morgan, Buchanan’s, Tequila Don Julio 1942, and Crown Royal between Apr 2 and Apr 23 were followed by modest declines of up to 1.76%. Today’s can-format launch continues this focus on line extensions and premium branding.
