THE POTENTIAL POSITIVE IMPACT OF THE INTEGRATION WITH PERNOD RICARD ON CORBY’S FUTURE SALES WAS ALSO EVIDENT FROM THE IMPRESSIVE RETAIL SALES GROWTH ACHIEVED BY A NUMBER OF PERNOD RICARD’S PREMIUM BRANDS. Last year, for the fourth consecutive year, Corby’s retail sales growth outpaced that achieved by the industry as a whole. In the twelve month period ending June 2006, Corby’s total spirit retail sales increased by over 205,000 cases to almost 4,000,000 cases. This represented an increase of 5.5 per cent over 2005 retail sales and bumped Corby’s retail market share from 24.5 per cent to 24.8 per cent. By comparison, retail sales by the rest of the industry over that same 12 month period increased by 4.5 per cent. In other terms, while Corby accounted for 24.8 per cent of the retail market for the 12 month period ending June 2006, the company accounted for nearly 30 per cent of the total increase in industry retail sales. This strong performance was driven by a number of Corby’s showcase premium brands. Fiscal 2006 was the seventh year in a row in which the Wiser’s family of Canadian whisky was the fastest growing family of whisky brands in the country. In the twelve month period ending June 2006, the Wiser’s family retail sales increased by 10.4 per cent, while retail sales of Wiser’s De Luxe and Wiser’s Special Blend grew by 8.8 per cent and 11.5 per cent, respectively.

  • Pernod Ricard Takes Minority Stake in U.S. Based Sovereign Brands, Innovative Creators of Luc Belaire, Bumbu and Other Brands
    Press Release – 1st September 2021 Pernod Ricard takes minority stake in U.S. based Sovereign Brands, innovative creators of Luc Belaire, Bumbu and other brands Pernod Ricard is delighted to announce the signing of a minority stake investment in Sovereign Brands and its portfolio of fast-growing super premium wine and spirits brands. Sovereign Brands is a family company founded by brothers Brett and Brian Berish, who are among the industry’s most innovative and creative builders of beverage brands, with a proven history of brand creation. Since 2000, Sovereign Brands has built a unique portfolio of forward-thinking brands in their respective categories across the world and especially in the world’s leading market, the USA. Sovereign’s most emblematic successes include Luc Belaire, a French sparkling wine, and Bumbu, a range of rum products from the Caribbean.

  • 'Jameson Caskmates', Het Resultaat Van Een Unieke
    23 november 2016 PERSBERICHT ‘JAMESON CASKMATES’, HET RESULTAAT VAN EEN UNIEKE AMBACHTELIJKE SAMENWERKING, IS NU WERELDWIJD VERKRIJGBAAR Bekijk het filmpje over Jameson Caskmates op: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSbUErfAMu0 Vorig jaar introduceerde Jameson een beperkt aantal flessen Jameson Caskmates op de Ierse markt. Het grote succes ervan overtuigde het merk om de Jameson Caskmates flessen nu wereldwijd op de markt te brengen. Dit uniek ambachtelijk product wordt gemaakt door Midleton Distillery in samenwerking met microbrouwerij Franciscan Well Brewery uit Cork en biedt een nieuwe smaakervaring aan alle whiskeyliefhebbers, Jameson-drinkers en fans van ambachtelijk bier. Het verhaal van Jameson Caskmates begon in 2013, toen de meester-distilleerder van Jameson, Brian Nation, en meester in whiskeywetenschappen Dave Quinn in een bar in Cork de stichter en hoofdbrouwer van Franciscan Well ontmoetten, Shane Long. De meesters van Jameson leenden enkele Jameson-vaten uit aan de brouwerij om te achterhalen welke invloed ze hadden op het Ierse donkere bier stout. Toen de vaten waarin het bier had gerijpt aan Midleton Distillery werden teruggegeven, vulde Dave Quinn ze opnieuw met Jameson Irish whiskey. Na verloop van tijd ontstond een nieuwe smaaksensatie: Jameson Caskmates. Jameson Caskmates, het resultaat van nieuwsgierigheid, samenwerking en innovatie, behoudt de drievoudig gedistilleerde zachte smaak van Jameson Original, waaraan toetsen koffie, cacao, butterscotch en een vleugje hop zijn toegevoegd. Jameson Caskmates komt wereldwijd op de markt en speelt in op de bestaande interesse van consumenten voor ambachtelijk bier en whiskey, aangezien het beide combineert tot een uitzonderlijk veelzijdige drank. Jameson Caskmates kan puur, on the rocks, in combinatie met bier of in cocktails op basis van bier worden geserveerd.

  • Download Press Release
    Press release – 29 July 2021 Pernod Ricard launches its innovative new Responsible Party campaign: “Drink More…Water” Pernod Ricard is today launching an innovative new international digital campaign through its Responsible Party initiative, aimed at tackling the issue of binge drinking. Its message is simple and universal: “Drink More… Water” As our social lives gradually return to normal after 18 months of minimal human contact due to the pandemic, the Responsible Party program, which has been engaged in the prevention of alcohol misuse by young adults since 2009, remains fully committed to combatting binge drinking. The reopening of bars, clubs and restaurants after so long could lead to excessive drinking and harmful use of alcohol amongst young people. That is why Responsible Party decided to intensify its efforts, launching a bold digital campaign designed by award-winning digital agency Buzzman. The “Drink More… Water” campaign is based on the Responsible Party Program’s main drivers: to persuade young adults that there is no fun in excessive drinking and to empower them to make the right choices for themselves, thanks to a peer-to-peer approach. Water has always been one of the core elements of the program as it is one of the ways of reducing harmful drinking. The campaign aims to connect with the genZ audience by adopting their own mindset and a simple, impactful and universal message – asking them to “Drink More Water”. By not shying away from showing the unpleasant, embarrassing and harmful consequences of alcohol abuse, the campaign features snapshots of what can happen when people binge drink while encouraging them to “Drink More”, which appears contradictory.
