COTSWOLDS DISTILLERY LANDS IN TRAVEL RETAIL 

Cotswolds Distillery has launched its inaugural travel retail proposition at Birmingham, Bristol and East Midlands Airports. Introduced exclusively into the sector in World Duty Free stores at the beginning of April, the offering has already seen strong success and has had a significant impact on sales. This is Cotswolds Distillery’s first foray into travel retail and increases opportunities for international travellers to try its award-winning range of whisky products.

Customers are able to purchase Cotswolds Distillery’s three flagship products; Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky and Cotswolds Cream Liqueur, all in 70cl size. For those unfamiliar with the selection, customers can ‘try before they fly’ with Cotswolds Distillery staff on hand to provide discerning travellers with samples, further insight into the brand, its products and their origins at the heart of the Cotswolds.

Product sampling at Birmingham Airport is complemented by a film about the products, their heritage and the production process, broadcast on a large HD display. The impact of this bespoke area has been extremely positive, with sales of Cotswolds Distillery products doubling since its launch.

This exciting launch follows the recent announcement that Cotswolds Distillery has raised £3million of equity through crowdfunding, further demonstrating its commitment to expanding and developing the business to meet growing demand for its award-winning products around the globe.
