Bacardi GTR debuts Fine Spirits Emporium in Hainan
Bacardi's Fine Spirits Emporium at CDF Haikou International Duty Free Shopping Complex
Bacardi GTR opened its first-ever "Fine Spirits Emporium" at CDF Haikou International Duty Free Shopping Complex last month.
With the growing popularity of home cocktail-making in China, the 20-square meter Emporium is described as the perfect one-stop shop for consumers to discover the range of premium quality spirits from Bacardi’s award-winning portfolio. With inspiration in-store from regular cocktail demonstrations, the space can easily help consumers to curate at-home bars or personal menus.
With Hainan’s year-round destination appeal attracting holidaymakers across all seasons, the space will also feature regular campaigns to offer shoppers ideas when it comes to celebrating key moments throughout the year.
Located on the fourth floor of the building, and with prime visibility from both inside and outside the CDF Duty Free store, the Bacardi Fine Spirits Emporium features dedicated discovery bar wallbays to showcase the breadth of the Bacardi category-leading portfolio including Bacardi, Grey Goose, Bombay Sapphire, Patrón and other white spirits from its portfolio.
