The Spanish brand Puerto de Indias, pioneers of the pink gin category and #2 flavoured gin brand worldwide, has announced it is expanding its UK gin portfolio by introducing a Blackberry flavour to the UK.
Launching in the UK during London Cocktail Week, the blackberry flavour has already experienced great success in its local Spanish market and comes at the perfect time to meet increasing demand for autumnal and wintery flavours as we head into the colder months.
In addition to its seasonal appeal, the flavoured gin category continues to show strong growth, up +30 per cent this year compared to 2021.
"After years of experience in this constantly evolving sector, we wanted to stay true to our innovative character and create this new flavour," said Laura Noguera, Global Consumer Director of Puerto de Indias. "With it, we hope to continue on our journey of revolutionising the way gin is produced and keep delivering on the excellent taste we are known for.
“We have already seen great success exporting our Puerto de Indias Strawberry gin from our Sevillian distillery to the rest of the world, and we are hoping to repeat that same success and strengthen the Spanish Spirit with our Blackberry flavour.”
Craig Chapman, Head of Brands at Amber Beverage UK, added: “I’m really excited about bringing the new Blackberry flavour to the UK consumer. Puerto de Indias, with its strawberry gin, is synonymous with flavour, so to be able to build on that with another incredible gin that allows us to broaden our range and offer a more autumnal offering is a great step forwards for the brand. We’re seeing excellent growth this year, and the addition of Blackberry will only help us accelerate even faster.
