Irish Distillers reports 4% global net sales dip for fiscal 2026
Irish Distillers, maker of Jameson Irish Whiskey, reported a 4% global net sales decline for fiscal 2026, alongside a 3.9% drop in annual organic sales for the third straight year. Growth of 9% in markets outside the US highlighted strength in mature and emerging regions, but soft US conditions and weaker China drive cautious Pernod Ricard guidance, with sales growth expected only at the lower end until after 2029.
