2015 has been a great year for Diageo Australia and our brands and we hope the same is true for our customers. We finished the financial year in growth, which was fantastic testament to the effort and determination our people continually put in to deliver great results in the face of a relatively flat market.
One of the big highlights for us in 2015 was the success of our Bundaberg Rum Master Distillers’ Collection (MDC). In March, our new Small Batch addition was voted Best In Show in the dark rum category at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. To have our local Australian brand internationally showcased as the best dark rum in the world is something we’re hugely proud of and I’m so pleased our MDC range is being recognised on the global stage.
It’s been a great year for rum all round, with Captain Morgan holding firm to its position as Australia’s second most popular rum behind Bundy. It also continues to be the number one growing trademark brand across total spirits; so it’s an exciting time to have such a major contributor to the spiced rum trend and spirits generally.
Outside rum, the star of the show for us has been Scotch whisky, particularly the Johnnie Walker family and our single malts such as Talisker. Australians are taking a real shining to this vibrant and aspirational category and there’s no sign of the trend cooling off any time soon.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support over the past 12 months and we look forward to building closer relationships with all of you, as business partners, in 2016 and into the future.
