Labrodog Scotch Makers Cheer Slash In Duties, Eye Expansion
Cheers Group aims to triple revenue by focusing on premiumization and innovation in the whisky market, featuring the new edition “Labrodog Black Tartan Scotch Whisky“.
India-UK FTA Fuels Scotch Ambitions
Global Scotch whisky producers are eagerly eyeing India after New Delhi and London concluded their long-awaited free trade agreement (FTA) recently. The landmark deal will lead to India halving its levy on Imported Scotch from 150% to 75%, and reducing it further to 40% over a 10-year period. The lower tariffs are set to propel Scotch sales in the world’s largest whisky market — India.
Scotch Whisky: A Global Favourite
Scotch whisky, defined by its use of malted barley, water and yeast distilled and aged for at least three years in oak casks in Scotland, is prized globally for its depth and complexity. Industry leaders believe the FTA could be a game changer.
Labrodog Scotch: A Legacy of Quality
The flagship ‘Labrodog Scotch Whisky’ launched a decade ago in India, inspired from Scotland’s picturesque Highland landscapes and history. It’s produced in picturesque Scotland. The brand is known for its commitment to quality and its unique approach to Scotch whisky making.
Labrodog Scotch Whisky has a rich, gold hue, not unlike the color of the many gold medals it has won. The nose features a combination of rich and smooth profile.
