Maxxium said its brand The Famous Grouse grew 6%, and its single malt scotches grew in double-digits, Laphroaig by 11% and The Macallan by 19%.
Glen Williams, Maxxium Travel Retail managing director, said: “In April we celebrated our second full year in business and this result is great news not just for us and our brand owners but also for all stakeholders in the business.
“The strong growth was delivered through our focus on innovation, both in terms of successfully bringing new products and travel retail exclusives to market and also through activation at point of purchase, where we are consistently breaking new ground with fresh ideas and unique consumer experiences.”
