From launch to May next year, William Grant will donate GBP1 per bottle sold in the UK to drinks charities that support the country’s on-premise channel.
“For the consumer who wants to indulge in an upgraded at-home experience, they can now do so without the fuss or cocktail accoutrements,” said William Grant’s global innovation marketing manager, Karen Murphy. “Batch & Bottle provides an opportunity to showcase the world-class brands in our portfolio, while also providing an uncomplicated solution to perfect cocktail serves created and produced using our industry expertise.”
Earlier this year, Monkey Shoulder partnered with mixer brand Fever-Tree for a ‘Ginger Monkey’ mixer pack in the UK.
