UK: Scotch Whisky Association urges for a multi-year freeze on spirits duty
|
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) is urging the UK Chancellor to deliver a multi-year freeze on spirits duty in the upcoming Autumn Budget. The trade body highlighted mounting regulatory costs, unstable global trading conditions, and the negative impact of recent tax hikes on both Treasury revenue and the hospitality sector, The Whiskey Wash reported on October 20.
Duty increases over the past two years have increased the tax burden on an average-priced bottle of scotch, with a minimum of £12 of every bottle sold in the UK now claimed by tax.
Despite these hikes, the SWA reports that excise duty from spirits has flatlined and fallen £600 million short of Treasury forecasts over the past two years.
The trade body also emphasized the importance of spirits to the UK’s on-trade. Spirits account for 15% of alcohol servings in pubs, bars, and restaurants but generate 38% of their alcohol profits.
This call to protect a vital income stream for hospitality businesses follows recent UKHospitality research showing nearly 84,000 jobs have been lost in the sector since the last budget.
The industry also faces external pressures, including 10% U.S. tariffs that cost the sector nearly £4 million each week. The combination of domestic duty and tariffs has

USA: Kirin puts Four Roses whiskey line up for sale
|
Japan’s Kirin Holdings has put its Kentucky bourbon brand Four Roses up for sale at a price of $1bn, as the brewer pivots away from the struggling spirits sector towards healthcare, The Financial Times reported on October 24.
Kirin has been working with advisers from UBS to test interest from potential buyers in recent weeks, with first-round bids expected as early as next month, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The sale process comes during a tough period for brewers and distillers as they contend with changing habits among younger consumers, who are reducing alcohol consumption. In Japan, beer consumption has dropped, hurting Kirin’s core product.
Kirin and UBS declined to comment.
Kirin, a Japanese conglomerate that generates more than $15bn a year in sales and produces everything from lager and spirits to rare diseases medicines under its Kyowa Kirin subsidiary, has owned Four Roses since 2002.
Tracing its origins back to 1888, Four Roses is produced in a distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, in the heart of so-called Bourbon Country. Four Roses generated about $70mn in adjusted earnings annually and was expected to fetch as much as $1bn, the people said.
After first entering the pharmaceutical sector in the 1980s, Kirin has accelerated its
