William Grant & Sons has lined up a packaging refresh and size addition for its Three Barrels brandy in the UK.
The company, which took over Three Barrels when it bought French brandy company Raynal & Cie in 2005, said today (12 December) that it will update the packaging across the range early next year in the country. Prior to this, a 50cl VSOP launches this month, “to meet growing consumer demand for a selection of premium spirits across a range of price points”.
The 50cl offering joins size variants of 5cl, 20cl, 35cl, 70cl and 1-litre for Three Barrels in the UK.
“We know that trial among consumers is driven by smaller formats and, with the VSOP category in growth, … there is a real opportunity to recruit new drinkers to the category through Three Barrels,” said senior brand manager Oliver Dickson.
Distribution in the UK is handled by William Grant's First Drinks sales marketing and distribution unit in the country. Three Barrels is also available in Nigeria and in Global Travel Retail.
Prior to the acquisition seven years ago, Three Barrels was produced in the Cognac region of France, although William Grant closed the Raynal & Cie facility in 2008. Today, it is matured and blended in Burgundy.
