Jameson sales grow by 15%

Worldwide sales of Jameson Irish Whiskey grew by 15% last year, with parent group Pernod Ricard enjoying a record performance from its portfolio of premium brands.

Jameson is included in the French drinks giant’s collection of 14 leading brands — which, together, make up 60% of its overall revenues.

Of those brands — which also include the likes of The Glenlivet, Martell, Absolut, Chivas Regal, Havana Club, Beefeater, and Ballantine’s — Jameson currently ranks fifth, with 3.9m cases selling in the group’s most recent financial year, up to the end of June.
