Aberlour Gets a Make-Over

Filed under: Spirits

They told us when we were kids not to judge a book by its cover. But when buying a bottle of scotch, many customers don't have much else to go by than its packaging.

Aberlour, for example, has had a rather staid label and packaging. But in a bid to make their quality product stand out amidst an ever-growing selection on liquor-store and duty-free shelves, parent company Chivas Brothers has given the brand a new look.

The new design updates on the old one with a more contemporary look. As it stands Aberlour claims the mantle as the top selling single malt in France, the largest market for scotch in the world. Who knows how much of the worldwide market it can capture with its fresh duds.

Chivas Brothers Launches Scotch Age Awareness Campaign

Even amongst casual celebrants, most consumers know that – amongst myriad other factors – an older whisky is generally a better one. In fact, in a recent market study, Chivas Brothers found that some 94% of consumers knew that. But far fewer – only 10% – knew that the age stated on a bottle of scotch indicates the youngest whisky in the bottle, not the average age (48% of those polled) or the oldest (35%).

Based on its findings, Chivas Brothers is undertaking a new awareness campaign to highlight the significance of age statements in scotch whisky. The Chivas group – part of Pernod Ricard, one of the largest liquor companies in the world – is among the world's foremost scotch distillers, encompassing such blend brands as Chivas Regal, Ballantine's and Royal Salute as well as a range of single malts including The Glenlivet, Abelour, Longmorn, Strathisla, Scapa and Tormore.

Most (if not all) of these labels feature age statements, and a range of marketing initiatives will aim to educated consumers as to their importance.
