Bacardi GTR draws attention to whisky portfolio at Paris Charles de Gaulle
By Charlotte Turner |
Bacardi Global Travel Retail continues to put its Scotch whisky portfolio in the spotlight with its latest installation at Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (Terminal 2E), live until 4 December 2019.
The striking new contemporary pop-up, in partnership with Lagardère at BuY Paris Duty Free, underlines Bacardi’s commitment to driving growth of its whisky portfolio, as reported here.
The copper-pipe inspired design showcases key brands from the Bacardi whisky portfolio: Dewar’s and four single malts; Aberfeldy, Aultmore, Craigellachie and Glen Deveron.
Travellers are invited to discover more about each of the whiskies by smelling their specific aromas through vapour units, and to enjoy a whisky tasting. There is also a branded photo opportunity, enabling people to capture their whisky experience and share on social media.
Prominently located on the airport concourse, the sign ‘Dewar’s – double aged for extra smoothness’, is meant to draw in travellers to the installation which spotlights the ageing and blending process of the ‘world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky’ with over 1000 accolades to its name.
FOOTFALL DRIVER
Whisky ambassadors are on hand to lead tastings featuring Dewar’s premium range and the single malts.
