Sazerac brands include Paddy Irish Whiskey, Michael Collins Irish Whiskey, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon and Southern Comfort.

It also plans to significantly grow the footprint of Lough Gill Distillery through increasing the distillery's capacity, adding warehousing capacity and expanding production and bottling lines.
