Today Pernod Ricard announced a very strong FY23 performance in a normalising environment with growth across all regions and spirits categories. Most notably, strong momentum was led by Chivas Brothers, Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët Martell, Irish Distillers Jameson Whiskey and The Absolut Company Absolut Vodka. Irish Distillers achieved impressive net sales growth of +11% across our portfolio of Irish whiskeys. This was primarily driven by Jameson, now a top 3 selling international whiskey brand, which recorded net sales growth of +10% globally. Our prestige portfolio, which is comprised of Redbreast, Midleton Very Rare, Spot Whiskeys, Method and Madness and Knappogue Castle experienced +22% net sales growth while Powers continued to attract new consumers recording net sales growth of +18%, primarily driven by the US market. Traditionally strong markets for Irish whiskey continued to deliver growth in the year, and the strength of sales in Asia shows that our strategy of diversifying Jameson and our prestige portfolio is working, with more consumers getting to know and love our portfolio of Irish whiskeys. I am very proud of the achievements of our brands in the year, and the teams in Pernod Ricard and Irish Distillers that helped to make this happen. We believe that the potential for growth of our full portfolio is enormous which is why we will continue to deliver on our business strategy and to ignite, or in many cases re-ignite, a passion for Irish whiskey in markets around the world. https://lnkd.in/eEB7qSDP #IrishWhiskey

In what can only be described as a meeting of two giants, Pernod Ricard has announced it is to partner with The Coca-Cola Company to release a pre-mixed RTD premium Absolut Vodka and Sprite cocktail made with the CSD giant’s signature lemon-lime taste. This follows the successful launch of Jack Daniels and Coca Cola released a year ago. The initial launch is set for early 2024 in select European countries, including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Spain, and Germany, it will have a standard abv of 5%, although this may vary from market to market. Francesco Ottaviano, Global RTD portfolio director at Pernod Ricard, added: “While Absolut Vodka and Sprite have long been enjoyed together around the world, we now unite two powerhouse brands in a unique ready-to-drink product. Elaine Maher, associate director, commercial development, at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners GB, which manufactures and distributes Absolut Vodka & Sprite in GB, said: “We know that refreshment is the no.1 preference amongst consumers when making an alcoholic ready-to-drink choice, and that is something Sprite’s Lemon and Lime taste is particularly renowned for." This is sure to be a very succesfull and very lucrative partnership for both players, only time will tell. #markets #cocacola #tccc #absolut #pernodricard #fmsg #spirts #rtd

Campari Group announces a historic move by acquiring Courvoisier cognac from Beam Suntory for US$1.32bn, marking the largest deal in its history. The addition of Cognac as the fourth major pillar alongside aperitifs, bourbon, and tequila positions Campari strategically in the spirits market. CEO Bob Kunze-Concewitz stepping down in April, views this as a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” foreseeing Courvoisier contributing 8% to the group’s future sales. This acquisition aims to boost Campari’s presence in the US and Asia Pacific, particularly China, where Cognac leads among imported spirits. #spirits #spiritsindustry #cognac #bourbon #tequila #aperitif #beverageindustry #mergersandacquisitions #strategicmoves

This is interesting! Score one for the red-headed step-children. Diageo acquired Astral Tequila (and some more brands) when it bought Davos Brands, essentially so it could get hold of Aviation Gin. But unlike what Pernod subsequently did* when it acquired Castle Brands in order to get its hands on Jefferson’s whiskey, Diageo seems to be integrating at least one of their accidentally acquired brands into its portfolio, by using Astral in a bottled margarita. *Farmed out most of Castle’s other brands - Knappogue Castle whiskey, Clontarf whiskey, etc., plus Plymouth gin** and Power’s whiskey - to a “foster parent”, Lafayette Imports. **Also an accidentally-acquired brand that came along with the ABSOLUT purchase! https://lnkd.in/eEg276fR

The HEINEKEN Company acquires stake in STËLZ 👏 The multinational brewing company has acquired a minority stake in the Dutch ready-to-drink brand for an undisclosed sum. Founded by Milan Voet and Glenn Cornelisse in 2020, the hard seltzer brand's growth has coincided with the rise of hard seltzer consumption in the Netherlands with the category expected to account for 18% of RTD sales in 2028. Stëlz will continue to operate as an 'independent' brand with Heineken providing the resources to help the company expand in the 'beyond beer' category. Voet commented: "With the advent of hard seltzer, you see a shift in social drinking culture. To unlock that potential, we need expertise and strength and our big neighbour obviously has that. They understand the beverage market like no one else and can help us with knowledge and expertise in the retail, hospitality, and festival domains.” Maarten Schuurman, Managing Director for Heineken's Netherlands business, added: "It is admirable how Stëlz has secured a unique position with their hard seltzer in a short time. On one hand, it’s about the product, but it’s especially about how Stëlz markets it in their own distinctive way: direct and straightforward, with a keen sense of the current zeitgeist and the moments when you enjoy a hard seltzer.” #News #Drinks #Alcohol #Seltzer #Acquisition #Netherlands #Growth
