The numbers
Figures from Restaurant India,
| Growth rate of India's spirits exports in recent years: | 20 - 26% |
|---|---|
| Global awards won by the brand: | 400+ |
| Core expressions getting new packaging first: | three |
| Growth targeting horizon: | next five years |
Why it matters for the brand
Expect new-look Nirvana, Brilliance and Bold bottles first, with the rest of the range following in phases, so shelves will carry old and new Paul John packaging side by side for months and need careful facing, stock rotation and sell-through of legacy stock.
What to track next
- Announcement of which expressions make up the second phase, and its timing
- New-pack listings appearing with key export distributors and in duty-free
- Rival Indian single malts announcing packaging refreshes or export pushes
- Any price change on refreshed expressions versus the old packs
