After Jameson enjoyed a record year in sales, parent brand Pernod Ricard is looking to expand its production capabilities. Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, announced the construction plans of a new distillery in a Sept. 6 press release.
A €250 million ($248 million) investment plan named Midleton Co. in Cork, Ireland as the new site for an Irish whiskey distillery. The carbon-neutral production facility is set to open in 2025 and will emphasize waste-reduction procedures.
