Bristol Distilling Co. has recently got investment from Guy Dodwell, former sales director of Diageo GB, whose global brands include Gordon’s, Guinness and Talisker.
Dodwell said: “Tapping into the latest shopper insight and anticipating future trends, Bristol Distilling Company is on a mission to create new excitement across the spirits sector.”
Bristol Distilling Co. founder Jake Black, who also owns Chomp restaurant on St Nicholas Street in the Old City, added: “These products launched in this way are a reflection of our bold vision, our innovative thinking and our uncompromising standards.
“In every way they manifest us, our ambition, our modern British spirit.”
Black says that 77 Berry and 77 Blush are both extremely versatile drinks, ideally paired with Fever Tree tonic water, lemonade or soda over ice, topped with prosecco for a refreshing spritz or as an ingredient in a favourite cocktail.
