Freshdi lists Whiskey suppliers from 13 countries, led by Germany at 19.0%, as of 15 November 2026.
21 suppliers are actively offering Whiskey on the platform, with 6 updating their listings in the last 30 days and 9 in the last 90. This shows a steady level of engagement—suppliers are not just listing once and disappearing, but maintaining activity over time, which means buyers can expect consistent product updates and reliable communication. For a buyer, that means fewer gaps in availability and more confidence in the freshness of the information they're reviewing. There are 110 active listings, offering a broad range of styles, ages, and origins. This depth means a buyer is likely to find a match for a specific preference—whether it's a particular region, cask type, or proof—without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The volume also suggests suppliers treat Whiskey as a core product, not a side offering. Whiskey suppliers come from 13 different countries, with Germany making up 19.0% of the total. That geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to explore diverse production styles and regulatory environments, and means they're not locked into a single origin or region. For buyers seeking authenticity or niche profiles, the wide range of countries offers meaningful choice.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Whiskey listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 12 November 2026 - 110 active listings, 5 buyer requests, 4 source documents, and 38 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Whiskey type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Whiskey, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
