Jameson has made the top 10 world’s premium spirit brands in the annual Impact list for the first time ever. The ranking follows growth in the US with the Pernod Ricard-owned whiskey now outselling every Scotch bar the Diageo-owned Johnnie Walker. Jameson is produced by Irish Distillers at its Midleton Distillery in east Cork.
Sales were up by 10 per cent to a record 7.5m nine-litre cases in 2018. It scored its 18th consecutive year on the Impact ‘Hot Brands’ list in the US, delivering nine per cent growth in the market over the same period. Entering the top 10 marks a milestone, with Jameson adding over 2.5 million cases, rising five places on the list in as many years.
Up from 11th place in 2018’s list, Jameson now sits next to ninth-placed Jägermeister.
