Return to growth predicted in 2026 after sales plummeted to €930m in 2025 amid tariffs, inflation and the devaluation of the dollar

The Irish whiskey sector has been under significant pressure after US tariffs on imports, the devaluation of the dollar, overstocking in America, and high consumer inflation, all contributed to a slowdown in overseas demand.
