Pernod Ricard UK is shaking up the Single Malts category by launching a brand-new expression, Allt-A-Bhainne. Scotch Whisky is growing +1.4% in the grocery channel[1], with Single Malt growing ahead of the category at +9.1% in value sales[2]. The disruptive, challenger brand, is aiming to drive growth further by pushing conventional boundaries to recruit a new generation of Single Malt consumers.

Bringing attitude and personality to the category, the fresh, irreverent brand offers something a little bit different for a new generation of whisky drinkers. Allt-A-Bhainne is a sophisticated and multidimensional liquid, mildly peated, with fruity undertones that create the perfect balance between peatiness and fruitiness.

The brand’s brutalist distillery in the heart of Speyside began distilling whisky in 1975, a time when everyone was breaking with conventions and going against the status quo. 43 years later, it is finally ready be distributed at scale to the UK market.

Chris Ellis, Commercial Director for Pernod Ricard UK, comments: “The world of Single Malt whisky is often focused on history, heritage and how things used to be done. Speyside is known for its fruity whiskies but Allt-A-Bhainne goes against the grain by including peat, creating a unique and unconventional flavour. The Single Malts category is growing globally and the peated segment is leading this growth, growing on average almost twice as much as unpeated[3]. Initial consumer research has been extremely positive and we’re proud to be offering such a unique taste, we can’t wait for everyone to try it.”

Available across the grocery channel, and on-trade, from September 2018, Allt-A-Bhainne is unboxed and carries an RRP of £37. Disruptive OOH, digital and in-store advertising will support the launch.
