William Grant\u2019s Annual Sales Tally $2.3 Billion Amid Challenging Conditions<\/h2>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 1, 2026<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

William Grant & Sons has posted sales of \u00a31.76 billion ($2.3b) for 2025, down 4% from the previous year, with the company noting that \u201cmarket conditions remained difficult throughout the year, with ongoing geopolitical and trade pressures, alongside weak consumer demand, continuing to affect industry performance.\u201d Company profits declined 13% to \u00a3337 million ($447m) before tax. According to Impact Databank, William Grant\u2019s U.S. volume totals approximately 3.2 million cases.<\/p>\n

William Grant CFO Graeme Jenkins noted \u201cexternal pressures affecting performance across many of the company\u2019s key markets. Against this backdrop, our focus has been on outstanding execution, while at the same time maintaining our long-term approach to brand and distillery investment. While the results reflect the current operating environment, our confidence in the long-term fundamentals of the spirits industry remains strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, William Grant named longtime Campari executive Melanie Batchelor to lead its U.S. business. In June, the Scotland-based company tapped Edrington veteran Igor Boyadjian as chief brand officer, leading the global marketing team. Boyadjian was most recently managing director of The Macallan.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., the William Grant portfolio as a whole slipped 4% in volume terms in control states through July, with Hendrick\u2019s gin, Reyka vodka, and Glenfiddich single malt Scotch whisky on the rise; The Balvenie single malt and Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey roughly flat; and Milagro Tequila, Sailor Jerry rum, and others showing declines.\u2014Daniel Marsteller<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
