Quintessential Brands Relaunches Four Gin, Irish Whiskey Brands In U.S.

Quintessential Brands will invest several million dollars in bringing back four of their brands into North America this fall, the company says.

These brands are: Greenall’s Gin, Opihr Gin, The Dubliner Irish Whiskey and The Dubliner Honeycomb Liqueur.

Greenall’s, Opihr and The Dubliner will soft launch this holiday season in select U.S. markets with strong “liquid-to-lips sampling, targeting event sponsorship and social media support,” the company says, followed by a “robust” on- and off-premise exposure campaign in 2017.
