About Us
Emperador Inc. (EMP) is a holding company which operates an integrated business
of manufacturing, bottling and distributing distilled spirits and other alcoholic
beverages from the Philippines and Europe.
Through Emperador Distillers, Inc. (EDI), EMP has established its identity in the
Philippine alcoholic beverages business with steady growth and production of high
quality liquor. EDI is the Philippines’ largest liquor company and the world’s largest
brandy producer.
The consolidated product portfolio is comprised of domestic and foreign brands
led by Emperador Light, Emperador Deluxe, Andy Player Whisky, Smirnoff Mule,
The Bar, The Dalmore and Jura Scotch single malt whiskies, and Fundador.
In 1990, Emperador Brandy was launched as Philippines’ first brandy label. This
brandy was produced through a delicate blending and aging process. The result is
a brandy of distinctive aroma flavor and consistent mellow quality. One look, one
sip and it becomes clear to all that Emperador is a world-class product that is easily
affordable.
Through dynamic marketing and by establishing a reputation for product quality,
EDI created demand for brandy in the Philippine spirits market. Emperador Brandy
has now started to expand its brand footprint outside the Philippines. It holds its
position as the world's largest brandy by volume and it is now being distributed in
40 countries across Asia, North America, Africa, Middle East, and Europe.
In 2010, Emperador Light was introduced in response to a growing market for
alcoholic beverages with lower alcohol content and targeted the younger alcoholic
beverage consumers.
In 2014 and 2015, the company acquired Whyte and Mackay, and Bodegas
Fundador, respectively. Through Whyte and Mackay Group Limited (WMG or
Whyte and Mackay) of United Kingdom, EMP has entered the global Scotch whisky
business.
WMG has a rich heritage of a Scottish spirits company, which is the fifth largest
Scotch whisky manufacturer in the world, and its products are distributed in over
50 countries. And with EMP’s most recent purchase of the brandy and sherry
business from Beam Suntory (Bodegas Fundador, completed in February 2016),
EMP has fortified its brandy and sherry business, and has strengthened its overall
liquor business.
As a global company, Emperador Inc. is now able to capitalize on its worldwide
distribution network catapulting its full range of brandy and whisky products led
by Emperador and Fundador brandy as well as single malt whisky The Dalmore and
Jura plus Whyte & Mackay and John Barr blended whiskies.
A new era has indeed begun for Emperador
