Alcohol-free brand to lift spirits for non-drinkers
A Scottish non-alcoholic spirits producer has unveiled an alcohol-free brand to coincide with the launch of Sober October.
Spiritsofvirtuehaslaunched Dochus, a zero-alcohol dark spirit blended and bottled in Scotland, along with a range of cocktail recipes to inspire those looking to avoid alcohol for the month-long challenge.
This comes as the drinks manufacturer announced plans to grow its distribution in the UK and overseas, specifically targeting Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Launched last year by brothers Roddy and Kerr Nicoll, Spirits of Virtue has grown to support a ten-strong team and deliver a capacity of 60,000 bottles a week. It intends to add further brands to its portfolio this year to meet growing consumer demand for low and zero-alcohol products.
Managing director Roddy Nicoll said: “As well as focusing on exports, we’re also looking at on-trade opportunities as the market continues to expand.”
