Langford distillery pours spirits into U.S. markets ahead of cocktail day

  • Sheringham Distillery, based in Langford, plans a major expansion into Washington and California timed for World Cocktail Day on May 13, 2025.
  • The expansion follows a year of quiet inroads into U.S. West Coast markets amid economic uncertainty and inflation-driven consumer spending lulls.
  • The company will use targeted campaigns focusing on five products in nine markets with cocktail events, tastings, and incentives as part of a 'street-level approach'.
  • Co-Founder Alayne MacIsaac explained that their products qualify for tariff exemptions under current trade agreements, and the U.S. Currently accounts for approximately 12% to 15% of the company's overall sales.
  • Despite curbed expectations due to market challenges, Sheringham remains committed to growth, eyeing additional U.S. States like New York and Florida later in 2025.
