Coupla new drinks comin out real soon.
These are exclusive to travel retail (for now), meaning only available at airports / duty-free.
Beam Global Spirits & Wines is comin up with Laphroaig Double Cask 20 Year Old – matured for 18 years in hogshead barrels and then in quarter casks for the last two years.
Its ABV is 46.6%, but is only available at Paris. Haha. Potong
The regular Laphroaig (single malt, pronouned la-froig) is kick-ass. Had it only once so far at Sid’s, courtesy of a BYO by my friend Gleeson. Taken straight, its crazy smoky n smooth as silk!
Absolut (Pernod Ricard) is launching Berri Acai, a new flavoured one which combines three berries from four different continents: Açaí from South America, blueberries from North America and Europe, and pomegranate from south-west Asia. (Pomegranate is wat grenadine, the reddish cocktail ingredient, is made of.)
Sounds refreshing! I’d have it with soda & a squeeze of lime.
The launch will be backed by a visual campaign inspired by blues clubs, with the dark-blue colour as the lead theme. This is Absolut’s 12th flavour.
Expect to see it in airports by June.
Laphroaig tastes like antiseptic cream to me, sure is unique tho.
Antiseptic cream?? Haha! Dats a new one
Absolut Berry Acai sounds sweet in all senses of the word. I’ll get it when I fly to Bali in June. 😀
