    Brits have splashed out an extra £100m on Gordon’s over the past year, with sales boosted by
    huge demand for the Diageo-owned brand’s new Pink Gin.

    Gordon’s, which overtook Jack Daniel’s and The Famous Grouse to become the UK’s second-
    biggest spirit earlier this year, added £103.2m to its value over the past 12 months as sales hit
    £289.4m - a 55.5% increase year on year. Gordon’s Pink Gin, launched just one year ago, was
    responsible for £75.2m of the brand’s total growth [Nielsen 52 w/e 11 August 2018].

    The launch had performed “at the top end of our expectations” said Diageo general manager for
    GB, Ireland & France Charles Ireland.

    “We’ve got some amazing talent in our innovation group. They came to us and said pink was
    going to be a big deal, so we tried to get behind it really fast and go large with it. We’re delighted
    with it and we think it’s doing great work for the market overall and for retailers.”

    Diageo now controls the UK’s two biggest spirits brands, with Smirnoff in first place.

    It comes as total UK sales of gin have grown by more than a third (34.6%) to £528.8m, on
    volumes up 27.3%. That’s an extra six million-odd litres [Kantar Worldpanel 52 w/e 17 June 2018].

    Pink gin had “been the success story of the year in spirits”, said Kantar analyst Laura Christen,
    and had capitalised on the ‘spritz’ trend which grew hand-in-hand with prosecco’s recent good
    fortune. She credited Gordon’s Pink with “starting the revolution which seems to have taken hold
    across several alcohol categories”.

    Broader flavoured gins have also racked up serious sales, with approximately 1.6 million
    additional shoppers picking up a bottle of flavoured gin from the likes of Warner Edwards,
    Edinburgh Gin and Tanqueray compared with last year.
