Jameson owner sees no supply issue as sales drive Pernod Ricard growth

Irish Distillers says it's mitigated supply chain problems as record sales of Jameson drive revenues for its parent company

'Jameson is in growth in all key regions around the world, demonstrating the ever-increasing affinity for the brand on a global level,' said Irish Distillers  CEO and chairman, Conor McQuaid. 

Jameson owner Irish Distillers has said it has successfully mitigated any serious supply chain problems, with record international sales of the iconic whiskey heavily driving better-than-expected first-half revenues for parent group Pernod Ricard.

The French drinks giant – the second-largest spirits maker in the world behind Diageo – said organic sales for the six months to the end of December grew by 17%, beating market estimates of 15% growth.
