Brown-Forman Corporation has announced an agreement to purchase the Gin Mare brands from Vantguard and MG Destilerías in Spain.
Gin Mare is an ultra-premium Spanish gin with a Mediterranean-inspired recipe of botanicals, including Arbequina olives, thyme, rosemary, and basil. Gin Mare Capri, which also features Italian bergamot and lemons, was introduced last year.
Brown-Forman President and CEO Lawson Whiting said: “Gin Mare and Gin Mare Capri are unique gin brands with impressive sales growth and strong distribution in important European markets.
“They are excellent complements to Brown-Forman’s super-premium portfolio. We believe this exciting acquisition enhances our capacity to deliver meaningful global growth for the long term.”
