I've always thought whisky tastes better with ice, but this new partnership is bringing the spirit of the rink straight to your glass! I am proud to announce that J.P. Wiser's will now be pouring its iconic Canadian spirit, passion and 165-years of history into a new multiyear Canadian partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL), which names J.P. Wiser's the Official Whisky of the NHL. As I have personally learned from my years of being in Canada, hockey isn't just a game here; it's woven into the cultural fabric and creates lifelong traditions. Bringing together these two iconic brands allows J.P. Wiser's to build on the tradition of bringing friends together over Canadian whisky during Canada's game. This collaboration will unite generations of fans and communities through their shared passion of celebrating moments that matter most in homes across Canada. Throughout the season, fans will get the chance to enjoy limited edition whiskies, co-branded promotional merchandise, in-store signings and social media contests. Thank you to our Brand Team for working on this game-changing partnership of bringing whisky lovers and hockey fans together like never before! Lastly, it wouldn't be a proper celebration if we didn't include the great legends and NHL Alumni Ryan Smyth and Doug Gilmour, who will also be starring in our national campaign airing November 4th - stay tuned.

I am thrilled to announce the release of Corby Spirit and Wine Limited's Annual Report for FY24! Our theme, "Raising the Bar: Leading Change & the Markets", reflects how we navigated the ever-evolving landscape and remained steadfast to create long-term value. The past year we have embraced change and leveraging our rich heritage while continuously evolving to meet the demands of the modern consumer. Our journey has been guided by a clear vision: to be the most innovative and consumer-centric company in the beverage alcohol segments in Canada. As a result of this, we were able to consistently grow our market share across all key categories over the last year: an unprecedented performance for Corby. Additionally, we decided to take a different direction in the way our report was designed from front to back. We wanted someone who was able to embody Corby's personality and this year's theme effortlessly, and nobody knows us better than our colleagues at Ace Beverage Group. Their in-house design team, Ashley Peach and Simone Capozzolo, delivered a spectacular hand-illustrated design that is engaging, creative and reflective of our convivial values. These results could not have been possible without the dedication, support and trust of our employees, valued partners, customers, consumers, board of directors and shareholders. Your belief in Corby has been absolutely instrumental in laying the foundation for our current and future success. I invite you all to delve into our 2024 annual report to learn about our evolution, acquisitions and integrations, innovation, our culture and everything else we've accomplished this year. As we continue this exciting journey of positive transformation and raising the bar, we hope you join us in building something truly special. https://lnkd.in/dwAg5Z7w

As the sun shined brightly over the Osheaga festival grounds during the August long-weekend, our Absolut Vodka's activation proved to be nothing short of spectacular! As the Official Vodka of Canada's #1 Music Festival, the Absolut Bar directly connected 150,000 festivalgoers to the brands ethos - mixing ideas, identities, people, perspectives, and drinks. Providing an electric and vibrant open setting in the main field with a shaded patio, bench swings and bar, consumers flocked to the activation incredibly eager to engage in the one-of-a-kind experience alongside their favourite cocktails and RTDs. It was amazing seeing the vision and magic our teams created to bring Absolut to the centre stage of building connections, and leaving a memorable impact that calls for an encore! 🎤🎸
