Delhi Duty Free introduces Balvenie Triple Cask In line with worldwide launch

Delhi Duty Free is the first retailer in the Indian Sub Continent to introduce the new The Balvenie Triple Cask range from William Grant & Sons. Comprising 12 year old, 16 year old and 25 year old variants, Balvenie Triple Cask has been developed exclusively for the global travel retail sector and has a unique proposition.

The range has been introduced to Delhi Duty Free during July using special merchandising units created to give high visibility to the range.

Says WGS (title) Neeraj Sharma: ‘After  the great success of The Balvenie range in both global travel retail and domestic business we have decided to provide international travellers an opportunity to discover more from a differentiated range of handcrafted Single Malt whiskies crafted by Malt Master David Stewart.’

The Triple Cask range offers expressions of The Balvenie that have matured in the three most traditional types of cask – first-fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry; all in a large wooden vessel known as a marrying tun. Each offers something unique: The Triple Cask 12 year old is elegantly sweet and spicy, with a mellow taste of dried fruits, vanilla and cinnamon; the Triple Cask 16 year old delivers a rich vanilla sweetness alongside hints of toffee and gentle oak; and the Triple Cask 25 year old is deep, rich and complex, with silky oak and spice and an exceptionally long and warming finish.

Adds Sharma: ‘Single Malts are a growing sector at Delhi Duty Free with sales increases quite significantly above other liquor categories, so we are confident that the new Balvenie Triple Cask range will have real appeal to travellers – particularly because it is exclusive to the channel and therefore cannot be found on domestic markets. This gives added gift and collecting appeal to the range.’

Said Steve O Connor, CEO, Delhi Duty Free  – “Delhi Duty Free is viewed today as a premium retail destination within India catering to a diverse audience, who are well traveled and brand conscious. We have find tremendous customer interest in all versions of the Balvenie Single Malt and are honored to be a part of the worldwide launch of “Balvenie Triple Cask Range”. It’s a drink of choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life. As a category the single malts is critical to our liquor strategy. Today Delhi duty free offers one of the widest and rarest collections of single malts in the world.”

FLO ACCESSORIES TARGETS TRAVEL RETAIL WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS FOR TRAVELLERS

A new company is making steady inroads into travel retail with a range of innovative products that combine quality with value for money and flexibility of design. Based in New York , Flo Accessories has already achieved listings in the air for its patented design fragrance atomizer and LED mirrors, including Aer Lingus, BA, Thomson Airways, Austrian Airlines, El Al, Flybe and KLM, and is now targeting ground shops and ferries/cruise ships with a rapidly expanding offer. The company has a listing with World Duty Free for all its UK airport retail operations and is also present at Antalya International Airport, Turkey, and through James Richardson Israel.

Core to the range is the Flo Fragrance Atomizer which, unlike others in the marketplace, has a glass container and patented filling system design that is 100% universal for use with any type of fragrance bottle.

Says Flo Accessories Founder & CEO Adoram Leshem: ‘Fragrance companies market their perfumes ONLY in glass for very good reason – so why should we be any different with an atomizer? Glass is the only real way to store a fragrance without it being affected by climate or temperature change. Plastic breathes and the fragrance inside can be quite dramatically affected as a result. Plastic also interacts with fragrance and so changes its formula.. and that can lead to skin irritation; that is why the only compatible materials used by fragrance brands is glass.’ Leshem also claims the Flo atomizer can be used on all designs of fragrance bottles, even those without a spray nozzle. ‘Our filling system easily connects to and covers the fragrance exit hole – however it is designed – and seals around it; the fragrance is then simply sprayed into the silicone cap and into the atomizer. Pump action designs do not work with all designs,’ he explains.

Already widely distributed through major High Street retailers in the UK, Europe and US, Flo offers the atomiser in a variety of colours and designs, including models with crystal insets and a new glitter look set to follow. For travel retail the company can create exclusive colours and finishes with retail prices starting at US$15.

Flexibility is crucial, says the company. ‘We know how important it is to offer products for travel retail that have a point of difference over the High Street, which are perfect for impulse purchase, and which can be customised to an individual retailer or airline’s requirement,’ says Leshem. A perfect example is the neat Organiser Pouch, originally designed to hold three atomizers, but now offered in a variety of sizes to also carry essential items such as lipstick, nail varnish, makeup brushes, mascara. ‘We can supply these empty to be sold alongside the atomiser, or as a gift with purchase, or as a filled item complete with atomizer, make up brushes etc,’ continues Leshem. ‘For example, we have developed a great nail file set with a rounded edge and protective case that makes it ideal for airport retail and airlines.’ The nail file set is listed by World Duty Free for its UK airports, along with the atomizer and Celebrity LED mirror.

The powerful Celebrity double-sided folding mirror has powerful LED lights which allow make up application anywhere. Two mirrors in one with one side standard and one side 2 x magnification, the mirror also has a free-standing base to enable hands-free, fuss free use. Enclosed in a stylish and durable case to prevent scratching or damage. ‘We will shortly be introducing a new chic version of this with a illuminated logo on the case, glow effect LED light and mirror with x 5 magnification,’ continues Leshem. ‘Again, we can produce this in exclusive colours for retailers and could, for example, produce a set with a mirror and other travel products as a travel retail exclusive item.’ Retail prices of the mirrors start at US$17.

Leshem says there are a number of other new products coming on-stream in the next few months including ‘a totally new concept in jewellery which really could be a massive success story for travel retail’.

Flo Accessories’ move into travel retail is against a backdrop of active PR and promotion on domestic markets internationally with a new website and aggressive social media and consumer marketing program under development.

Glenfiddich Age of Discovery range launches in Brazil exclusively through Dufry

August sees the launch of the Glenfiddich Age of Discovery range in Brazil exclusively through Dufry. This travel retail exclusive range will be available to travellers at the retailer’s shops at São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro airports.

Glenfiddich Age of Discovery 19 Year Old comes in three variants, all created to celebrate a pioneering moment in history:

Age of Discovery Madeira Finish has an earthy aroma of sweet ripe figs and orange marmalade plus bright notes of fresh gooseberries and grapes. Offering a rich and spicy taste, it honours the Portugese explorers of the 15^th Century who discovered the New World.

Age of Discovery Bourbon Cask Reserve is inspired by the Great American Rivers which once transported fine oak casks filled with American bourbon towards New Orleans. At this time they could only be used once, their aromas and flavours released quickly without being exhausted by long maturation. This Age of Discovery variant, exclusively matured in American Bourbon casks for 19 years has a crunchy toffee flavour with cardamom notes; a refined balance of spicy sweetness and rich dried fruit flavours.

Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Red Wine Cask Finish celebrates Darwin’s voyage of discovery on board The HMS Beagle in 1831 that sailed from Plymouth in England. This extraordinarily rich Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky, is finished in oak casks previously used to produce the smooth, complex wines of South America using Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Quotes:

‘Single Malt Whisky is a fast growing category in Brazil and travellers are increasingly looking for brands and expressions that offer something different and unique. Glenfiddich Age of Discovery is a true reflection of the pioneering spirit of the brand and provides a perfect opportunity to travellers to discover three very different and unique expressions.’ - Christiano Protti, Glenfiddich Ambassador for Brazil

‘At Dufry Brazil we are always keen to work with brand partners to offer our customers exciting and innovative products that give us a point of difference over the high street. The Glenfiddich Age of Discovery range offers an opportunity to generate huge interest around a differentiated product for travelers. The new range is a perfect example of suppliers approaching the duty free category with real commitment and we are delighted to be working with William Grant & Sons.’ - Laura Chedid, Liquors Manager at Dufry Brazil

Delhi Duty Free and William Grant & Sons team up in exciting Mega Promotion

July sees highly focused brand activity for William Grant & Sons’ Glenfiddich and Grant’s Scotch Whiskies with Delhi Duty Free, India’s leading travel retailer.

For the first time in the Indian Sub-Continent, William Grants & Sons is running an exciting ‘Mega Promotion’ during the month which offers passengers the chance to win a fantastic portable home bar each week through a lucky draw. Entry is possible with every purchase worth US$80 from either the “Glenfiddich” range or “Grant’s Family Reserve family”.

This consumer engaging promotion is orientated on product information aimed at educating consumers on each brand variant and covers the entire Glenfiddich and Grant’s ranges. With the clever use of dividing walls, bottles can be displayed in an impactful ‘museum’ style, clearly displaying the vintage year and including tasting notes. This allows for a clear division between standard and higher end vintages and enables those expressions which are Travel Retail Exclusive to be visibly displayed as such. Housed in the wall is a screen which shows the Glenfiddich story, selling the rich history associated with the brand to consumers.

In addition, for the first time at Delhi Duty Free, aroma cones for each variant are included within the display to enable consumers to have their own nosing experience.

Says William Grant & Sons’ Head of Sales-India Sub Continent, Neeraj Sharma: ‘Retail experience within the Indian Subcontinent has evolved hugely in global travel retail and that has been largely led by DDFS who has undertaken pioneering efforts in this regard. As a step in this direction, we are doing the mega promotion in July which offers a mix of consumer education through product nosing & attractive gifts with purchases, with the mega prize of a designer Glenfiddich home bar.”

Glenfiddich is the leading Single Malt at Delhi Duty Free and, adds Sharma: ‘The trend today is for consumers to stock a Single Malt range at home for personal consumption and enjoyment. So it makes perfect sense to have a prize such as the Glenfiddich Home Bar. We are very grateful to DDFS for giving us this wonderful opportunity.’

Mr. Steve O Connor, CEO, Delhi Duty Free Services Pvt. Ltd, said “Glenfiddich is one of the finest brands in the Single Malt segment and William Grants products in general have always received a good response at Delhi Duty Free. Travellers from all over the world find fervour with this brand. We at Delhi Duty Free have always endeavoured to provide the best of offers and promotions to our customer. And this is first of a kind initiative & will create excitement for the true whisky connoisseurs where they can win a portal bar.”

LORD COE AND WILLIE WALSH TO GIVE KEYNOTE ADDRESSES AT TFWA WORLD EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE

Double Olympic Gold Medallist and Chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games Lord Sebastian Coe will make the keynote address at the opening plenary of the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes on Monday 21^st October 2013.

A legendary middle-distance runner, ‘Seb’ Coe set eight outdoor and three indoor world records during his career and won four Olympic medals including Gold in the 1500 metres in 1980 and in 1984. Following his retirement from athletics, he was a Conservative Member of the British Parliament from 1992 to 1997 and became a Life Peer in 2000. Coe headed the successful London bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, widely considered one of the most successful Summer Games of all time. Upon their conclusion, he was appointed chairman of the British Olympic Association in November 2012.

Lord Coe will address the various challenges involved in bringing to fruition an extremely complex business plan, resulting in an unforgettable experience for thousands of visitors and spectators around the world.

Following him onto the stage at the Conference, which is themed ‘A Brand New Challenge’, will be one of the most influential figures in civil aviation: Willie Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of International Airlines Group, the holding company of British Airways and Iberia. The former CEO of Aer Lingus, Willie Walsh started his career as a commercial pilot and went on to preside over the merger of two of the largest international airlines in the world.

Thom Rankin, TFWA Vice President Conferences & Research: “TFWA is delighted to be able to offer delegates at the 2013 TFWA World Exhibition & Conference the perspectives of two individuals who are, without question, at the very top of their game. They have each faced challenges which would daunt lesser men and have striven to achieve their goals with the eyes of the world upon them. We are honoured that they have agreed to speak at our annual conference and to share their unique and, I am sure, inspiring experiences. I believe I speak for all when I say we are looking forward to these presentations with great excitement.”

The third speaker of the morning will be the eminent free-thinker John Gerzema, consultant and author of The Athena Doctrine: How Women (And The Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule The Future which was published this spring. The author also of The Post-Crisis Consumer (2009), Gerzema is a regular contributor to TED Events, a global programme of conferences founded in 1984 as a think-tank for futurists and thought-leaders under the slogan ‘ideas worth spreading’.

“John Gerzema is guaranteed to challenge our current notions of the consumer of luxury goods today,” continued Rankin. “An accomplished academic and marketer, his wide-ranging presentation is likely to stimulate considerable debate as we embark on a busy business week.”

Presenting the annual ‘State of the Industry’ address at the Conference will be Erik Juul-Mortensen, President TFWA, whose considered assessment of the duty free and travel retail industry, its recent successes, current challenges and future potential, is valued highly by delegates at this annual event.

The TFWA World Exhibition Conference will be moderated by highly respected journalist Stephen Sackur Presenter of BBC HARDtalk.

All delegates registered to attend TFWA World Exhibition in the Palais des Festivals, Cannes (20-25 October 2013) are entitled to participate in the opening Conference.

Registration for TFWA World Exhibition & Conference is open at www.tfwa.com.
