“Rise of Craft and Premium Gin”
The gin market is witnessing a notable trend toward craft and premium offerings, reflecting consumers' growing preference for unique and high-quality spirits. This shift is evident in the increasing number of small distilleries producing artisanal gins with distinctive flavor profiles and botanicals. For instance, in April 2022, Bombay Sapphire, owned by Bacardi, introduced Citron Presse gin, a refreshing lemon-flavored gin made with Mediterranean lemons. This innovative spirit is set to launch in key markets, including Australia, Germany, Ireland, Andorra, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria, Spain, and Portugal. This strategic rollout aims to capture the growing demand for unique gin flavors and expand the brand's global presence in the competitive gin market.
