Emperador is a brand of cut brandy and brandy produced by Emperador Inc., a 81% owned subsidiary of Alliance Global Group. The shares of Emperador Inc. are traded at the Philippine Stock Exchange with the symbol "EMP". The beverage is primarily sold in the Philippines.
Since 2006, it has been the world's top-selling brand of brandy in terms of quantity of brandy sold.[1] Annual sales in 2015 amounted to 275 million liters.[2][3] However, by international standards, the Emperador Light expression (introduced in 2010) is considered a "cut brandy" rather than a true brandy, as it contains neutral spirits alcohol made from sugar cane.[3][4]
In early 2015, the brand was estimated to have a 97% share of the brandy market and a 50% share of the overall spirits market in the Philippines (population 100 million), and a 73% share of the spirits market in Manila.[3]
Although the brand's market was initially limited to the Philippines, it has since expanded to Thailand, China, the United States,[5] and other countries.[2]
