Bonjour! Introducing Antidote Gin: A French Signature Delight made of grapes, now in the Philippines
Forget booking a ticket to Paris to explore French delights – Antidote, the ultimate French gin experience is now in the Philippines! The name ‘Antidote’ poses as a conceptual thought, stemming from Tonic based drinks from the English colonies that exerted taste and healing properties. With Tonic drinks gaining reception and favorability, Groupe Grand Chais De France (GCF) drew inspiration from this historical bit and mastered the Antidote signature, a gin from a blend of French grapes.
Mr. Fábio Ide and Mr. Chris Brancamonte, its distributors in the Philippines, expressed their excitement about introducing this unique spirit to the local market. “We are excited to offer Antidote gin to the Filipinos because it brings a unique and high-quality spirit to a market with a growing appreciation for craft beverages. Antidote gin’s distinct flavors and premium ingredients can appeal to the sophisticated palate of Filipino consumers who are increasingly seeking out new and diverse drinking experiences.”
Antidote Gin
Gin consumption in the Philippines is booming largely because of curious consumers, who are open to trying new flavors such as the Antidote Gin. “We and our team describe Filipino gin drinkers as adventurous and discerning individuals who appreciate quality and uniqueness in their beverages. Moreover, they are keen on exploring new flavors and enjoy the experience of trying craft and artisanal spirits. Filipino gin enthusiasts also value the social and cultural aspects of drinking, often integrating gin into social gatherings and celebrations. They are knowledgeable about their preferences and are open to innovative blends that can complement the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines” said Mr. Ide and Mr. Brancamonte when asked about the behavior and preferences of the Filipino gin drinkers.
