There’s a new whiskey on South African shelves and it is bringing a fresh energy to the world of whiskey. Galloglass is now available exclusively at TOPS at SPAR, adding something new and unexpected to the retailer’s growing range of exclusive drinks.
Available in three different expressions, Galloglass Irish Whiskey is made for people who enjoy trying new flavours and enjoying whiskey in their own way whether that’s neat, over ice or mixed into an easy cocktail.
Inspired by the legendary Gallóglaigh warriors of Ireland, known for their strength and fearless spirit, the whiskey combines classic Irish heritage with a more relaxed and modern approach to drinking whiskey.
And that’s exactly what makes Galloglass different.
For years, whiskey has often been seen as serious or intimidating, but Galloglass keeps things simple. Add lemonade, soda, ginger ale or whatever works for your taste there are no rules. It’s smooth, easy to drink and made for social moments, whether you’re at a braai, dinner with friends or a night out.
“At TOPS at SPAR, we know consumers are looking for drinks that feel exciting but are still easy to enjoy,” says Anna-Marie Marks National Marketing Manager – Liquor at TOPS. “Galloglass offers something different for whiskey lovers and also for people who may be exploring the category for the first time” Marks concludes.
The launch comes as more South Africans look for premium drinks that feel less traditional and more suited to everyday occasions. With three flavour options to choose from, Galloglass gives consumers more ways to enjoy whiskey without feeling boxed in by old-school drinking culture.
As South Africans get ready to celebrate World Whiskey Day, TOPS at SPAR is inviting consumers to head in-store, discover the Galloglass range and explore new ways to enjoy whiskey. Consumers can also visit TOPS at SPAR’s social media pages for cocktail inspiration, serving ideas and more information around Whiskey Kulcha – a celebration of the different ways people across the country enjoy and experience whiskey today.
