Premium spirits are an important part of the Coca-Cola HBC product range, in line with our Leading Beverage Partner vision

Our premium spirits business is a strategic category in leveraging our 24/7 portfolio, offering solutions for every beverage consumption occasion.

The premium spirits in Coca-Cola HBC help us accelerate the growth of our single-serve non-alcoholic ready-to-drink brands, as we can strengthen our customer relationships and better address important adult consumption occasions through mix activation.

The highly complementary premium spirits category is now available in 23 of our markets, leveraging our strength in distribution and execution excellence. With the addition of premium spirits, Coca-Cola HBC creates a compelling offering for HoReCa customers, offering one-stop-shopping. This provides us with strong cross-selling opportunities for our core beverage portfolio in new, lucrative outlets.

We rely on our strategic relationships and agreements with our premium spirits partners:

  • In 2013 we started our partnership with Brown-Forman (Jack Daniels, Finlandia) as a distributor of their products.
  • In 2014 we became distributor of Edrington.
  • In 2016 we expanded the Edrington portfolio with the brands The Famous Grouse, The Macallan, Highland Park, The Glenrothes, Rum Brugal.
