Pernod Ricard plots further expansion as Jameson sales fuel growth

Drinks giant Pernod Ricard has reported its strongest earnings growth in seven years, largely boosted by a 6% jump in global sales of Jameson Irish Whiskey.

Jameson racked up sales of 7.7 million cases during the 12 months to the end of June and is now seeing double or triple-digit sales growth in more than 70 countries.
