Salud Spirits debuts tasting sets

Dutch distributor Salud Spirits has launched a series of tasting sets featuring five miniature bottles of rum, whisky and gin.

Available from September, The Spirits of Salud Tasting Box is available in four variations: rum, whisky, gin and cocktails.

Brands featured within the sets are Crystal Head Vodka, Starward, Stauning, Chichibu, Mates, Flaming Pig, Gin Raw, Silent Pool, Tarquin’s, Twin Fin, Scapegrace, AH Riise, Santos Dumont, Cenote vodka, and Bayou rum.

Lieke van Vliet, CCO of Salud Spirits, said: “What marketing tool could be more powerful than actually experiencing a drink? That’s why we’re launching this tasting box, enabling enthusiasts to try and experience for themselves.”

The sets come with a detailed booklet that provides a QR code allowing customers to gain access to extensive brand information, recommended drinking methods, and cocktail recipes. A discount voucher will also be offered for a 700ml bottle of the spirits from the sets.

The rum, gin and cocktail sets are priced at €19.95 (US$22) each, while the whisky box has an RRP of €20.95 (US$23). Each set contains five 30ml measures.
