aberlour 15 travel retail exclusive

Aberlour 15 Year Old Travel Retail Exclusive 1L

Lot number: 089-5213

Winning bid: £70

Pernod Ricard's share of the Scotch Whisky market is second only to Diageo's; a fact that is in no small part down to their acquisition of Aberlour distillery in 1974. Despite being unlucky enough to suffer two catastrophic fires (in 1879 and 1898), Aberlour has enjoyed stable production throughout most of its life, and under the current regime its popularity has exploded. This is especially true in France where it has overtaken Glenfiddich as the biggest selling single malt.

This roaring success could be attributed to the delicate berry-flavour spirit that runs from its swan-necked stills, or to the enormous popularity of its heavily sherried A'bunadh batch releases. Perhaps even the fact that the Distillery Manager used to serenade the slumbering casks with the soothing tones of the bagpipes. Okay, maybe not the last thing!

Age: 15 Years Old

40% ABV / 1 litre

Please examine all images of the lot, any packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.

Aberlour 15 Years Old Distillery Exclusive Bottle Pair

Walker’s Shortbread unveils travel retail exclusive range; Dufry UK the first to list

By Luke Barras-hill | Thursday, 31 March 2022 16:23

Shoppers in travel retail will benefit from a premium, elevated gifting offer from Walker’s.

Walker’s Shortbread is launching a global travel retail range in collaboration with Dufry that is set to land at more than 55 of its sites worldwide, TRBusiness can reveal.

The 19-strong collection, available at a RRP of between £6/$8 – £15/$20, is set to go live in April.

To begin, it will be available on a two-month exclusive basis with the global travel retailer in the UK.

From June, the premium gifting range will hit shelves across the global Dufry estate and stock with other operators such as Lagardère Travel Retail in the UK.

The independent, family run Scottish brand plans to share the range more broadly with Qatar Duty Free, Bahrain Duty Free, Dubai Duty Free and DFS in the US.

Walker’s is also in discussion with Aer Rianta International to list the GTR range.

MILESTONE PARTNERSHIP

By introducing the range with Dufry [ at present , Walker’s works with Dufry’s local teams in the UK, Kuwait and Jordan and the range will move globally to total 55 Dufry sites worldwide as mentioned – Ed ] the Aberlour-based shortbread maker has activated the largest global retail partnership in its history as it seeks to evolve the brand in line with heightened customer and consumer demand.

The new Walker’s Shortbread GTR range comprises new products, tailored exclusives and updated lines, while staying true to Walker’s all-butter taste and high quality ingredients. Pictured is the dedicated Scotland World of Walker’s Assortment Gift Box.

This range includes five Gift Tubes ( Shortbread Thistle Rounds, Chocolate Chip Shortbread, Highlanders, Oat Shortbread, and Salted Caramel & Chocolate Shortbread, all 200g ); Shortbread Petticoat Tails Gift Box (225g); Shortbread Scottie Dogs Gift Box (150g) and the World of Walker’s Assortment Gift Box (320g).

The last features whimsical illustrations of iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and the Acropolis.

UK-specific skus complete the range, with three Sense of Place Gift Boxes, each customised with illustrations of historical landmarks including Edinburgh Castle ( containing Thistle Shortbread, 200g ); Big Ben*, including Union Jack Shortbread, (175g); and Tower Bridge, also containing Union Jack Shortbread (175g).

Plus, Walker’s is presenting London and Scotland World of Walker’s Assortment Gift Boxes (320g) and two Gift Tube Triple Packs ( Classic Scotland and Decadent Favourites ).

Meanwhile, Walker’s Royal Tins will continue to be stocked across UK Dufry Stores and will showcase a new celebratory Jubilee Tin.

“We want to bring excitement and enjoyment to travel retail consumers as they travel through the airports,” Amy Youl, Global Travel Retail Account Manager, Walker’s told TRBusiness. “We think this is a really exciting range and we are hoping to see it globally with all the key travel retailers.”

Asked about the timing of the launch, she said: “Travel retail has been impacted by Covid and we wanted to take this time to really understand what role travel retail plays with the consumer and what role Walker’s plays in that journey.

“We have been working very closely with the Dufry team to understand the travelling consumer and ensure we can deliver a really exciting and engaging range that meets their needs.

“We wanted to launch as the industry was opening back up and felt it was right to partner with Dufry on this as we’ve been working with them for a long time in travel retail.”

A new ‘World of Walker’s label, gold embossing and the iconic global landmarks on select products are designed to make the latest range appealing as both a souvenir and gifting item.

Amy Youl, Global Travel Retail Account Manager, Walker’s Shortbread.

ON-PACK QR CODE

To maximise customer engagement and sell-through, high-trafficked Dufry locations at Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 will benefit from uprated wall bays and digital screens.

In-store fixtures have been refreshed to align with a new contemporary look and feel for the brand, supported by permanent stands and tailored point-of-sale marketing.

In a first move, the range is embossed with an on-pack QR code that imparts information on the product, its ingredients, sustainability credentials and the brand, translated into approximately 30 languages.

The QR code links to a dedicated website where the customer can find details on the specific sku and learn more about Walker’s sustainability ethos and responsible business practice targets.

Walker’s says the inclusion of the QR code on the packaging allows for bespoke retailer promotions and added consumer engagement to drive activity across the markets.

Seasonal tasting and sampling activities are already being planned for later in the year, covering sites such as Heathrow Terminal 2 and Gatwick’s newly reopened South Terminal.

As travel reignites, consumers are keen to re-engage with brands via samplings and tastings but the health situation is always front-of-mind.

Walker’s says it has enlisted an agency to better understand what necessary protocols are needed to reassure consumers when it comes to safety and comfortability around tastings.

The company confirms that product giveaways, GWPs and different packaging formats are an area of exploration and one that could become more important as impending UK retailing restrictions on the promotion of foods high in fat, sugar or salt (HFSS) loom [ new rules on HFSS are due to come into force in October 2022 – Ed ].

Philippe Moryl, Global Head of Category – Confectionery & Food at Dufry said: “The launch of this new global travel retail range is another example of the way in which Dufry and its global brand partners are collaborating to adapt the travel retail offer to customers’ evolving lifestyle agendas.

“Not only do we bring travel retail exclusive products to our customers, but we also create a strong base for future growth focusing on quality, sustainability, and digitalisation. We are delighted to continue our journey with Walker’s and very much look forward to developing our collaboration beyond the UK and taking this category to the next level.”

Joseph Walker founded the company when he opened a village bakery in 1898 within Speyside’s village of Aberlour.

Since then, Walker’s has stayed true to its roots by fostering a responsible approach that extends not only to the ingredients found in its food production, but a respect for the welfare of its workforce and the relationships it holds with local suppliers and businesses.

Recipes are 100% vegetarian; contain no animal fats, genetically modified ingredients, artificial colours, flavourings, preservatives or hydrogenated fats; and raw ingredients are sourced as locally as possible.

Among its achievements, the firm is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, sourcing palm oil from sustainable forests, and the Vegetarian Society and is certified to produce organic products by the Soil Association.

Nicky Walker was appointed Managing Director of Walker’s Shortbread earlier this year.

A GTR FOOTPRINT SINCE 1975…

The company has also implemented a range of sustainable measures spanning packaging, energy efficiency, water and waste management, and transportation.

In an ode to that commitment, Walker’s has introduced recyclable paper skillet across most of its lines, fully recyclable paper [outer] sharing bags and fully recyclable Gifting Tubes featuring paper bases.

“Sustainability was a huge piece of this work [ around the range launch ],” continued Youl. “We are also continuing to improve our technology and investing in different ways to minimise our plastic use and, where possible, use FSC (certified) card to ensure we are managing the impact on forests. All our paper is supplied from the UK.”

Nicky Walker, recently appointed as Managing Director of Walker’s, said: “We are excited about the new launch, and I am delighted that the new range continues to represent Scotland at its finest. We are also delighted to continue our excellent partnership with a company that holds similar values and ambition to us.

“We have been operating in travel retail since 1975 and it remains hugely important to us that our heritage is both celebrated and respected as we continue to shape a stronger future by working with ambitious global companies such as Dufry.”

The Scottish Highlands manufacturer currently works with Lagardère Travel Retail, WHSmith and Caviar House & Prunier in the UK.

Outside of the UK – in addition to the aforementioned Middle East retailers – Walker’s is listed with the likes of Morocco Duty Free (Dufry) and World of Delights at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

In addition to airport retail, Walker’s also has a presence with cruiselines and ferries and is onboard with Qatar Airways.

The independent, family run company is headed today by founder Joseph Walker’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

“Travel retail is very important to Walker’s; it’s been a part of the business for a long time,” concluded Youl. “However, we recognise that there is a bigger opportunity and Walker’s has a place in travel retail.

“We now have a dedicated team for travel retail and are working with retailers such as Dufry to really understand the consumer and ensure they deliver a product that suits.

“This has been a significant undertaking by the brand with everyone involved from all areas of the business and has really highlighted to key stakeholders the importance of travel retail. It will continue to form part of the strategic plan of the company.”

19 Unique And Fabulous Experiences In Moscow

• Destinations

Thinking of visiting Russia? When visiting such a famous city, one must, of course, visit the iconic landmarks first. Moscow has plenty of those, most of them in the center of the city, which is very well-planned for tourists. Once you’ve seen the sights that are on most travelers’ lists, it’s time to branch out and visit some of the lesser-known sites, and there are some fascinating places to see and things to do.

I know this list is long, but I just couldn’t help myself. You probably won’t have the time to see them all. But that’s okay. Just scroll through the list and choose what sounds the most interesting to you. Where possible, make sure to book in advance, as things can get crowded, especially during high season.

1. The Red Square, Kremlin, And Surroundings

Red Square (Krasnya Ploshad) is the heart and soul of Russia, and where much of the country’s history has unfolded. This is the most famous landmark in Moscow and indeed the whole country, it’s an absolute must-do! The square is always full of people and has a rather festive atmosphere!

Saint Basil’s Cathedral

This is the famous church with the rainbow-colored, onion-domed roof. The cathedral was commissioned in the 1500s by Ivan the Terrible and according to legend, the Tsar thought it was so beautiful, that he ordered that the architect’s eyes be cut out afterward, so he could never build anything more beautiful! He wasn’t called Ivan the Terrible for no reason!

Lenin’s Mausoleum

The “love-it-or-hate-it” of tourist attractions in Russia. A glass sarcophagus containing the embalmed body of Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. It may seem a bit bizarre to display the mummy of a person, but it has been there for almost half a century and the 2.5 million visitors who come each year, clearly feel the queuing and thorough body search are worth it, to be in Lenin’s presence.

Pro Tip: no photos and no loud talking are allowed inside the Mausoleum.

Eternal Flame

There is an Eternal Flame in honor of an unknown soldier on the left side of Red Square. The hourly changing of the guards is worth seeing.

The Kremlin is the official residence of the Russian president. You can see it from the outside, or you can take an excursion to one of the museums located inside. This is the biggest active fortress in Europe, and holds a week’s worth of attractions! Once behind the 7,332-feet of walls, there are five squares, four cathedrals, 20 towers, various museums, and the world’s largest bell and cannon to see. Worth a special mention is the Armory Chamber that houses a collection of the famous Faberge Eggs.

Pro Tip: You can only go inside the Kremlin if you are part of a tourist group.

2. Bolshoi Theatre

Bolshoi Theatre translates to “The Big Theatre” in Russian, and the building is home to both the Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera — among the oldest and most famous ballet and opera companies in the world.

Pro Tip: It’s hard to get an inexpensive ticket, so if you’re reading well in advance of going to Moscow then try buying tickets on the official website . Last-minute tickets cost around $250 per person. If this is out of your budget, about an hour before a performance, you can try buying a ticket at the entrance from a reseller. Most can speak enough English to negotiate the price.

Tour the Bolshoi Theatre: You can take a group guided tour of the Bolshoi Theatre which focuses on the history and architecture of the theatre and behind the scenes. There’s an English language tour that lasts 2 hours and costs around $300 for a group of up to six.

3. Luxury Shopping At GUM And TSUM

Russia’s main department store, GUM, has a stunning interior that is home to over 100 high-end boutiques, selling a variety of brands: from luxurious Dior to the more affordable Zara. Even if shopping is not on your Moscow to-do list GUM is still worth a visit; the glass-roofed arcade faces Red Square and offers a variety of classy eateries. TSUM, one of the biggest luxury malls in town, is right behind the Bolshoi and GUM. It’s an imposing building with lots of history, and worth a visit just for its design and its glass roof.

4. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This is one of Russia’s most visited cathedrals and is a newer addition to the gorgeous array of Muscovite cathedrals, but don’t let its young age fool you. After perestroika, in the early 90s, the revived Russian Orthodox Church was given permission to build a cathedral on this site. It did the location honors and built the largest temple of the Christian Orthodox Church. The façade is as grand as you’d expect, but it’s the inside that will mesmerize you, with its domes, gold, gorgeous paintings, and decor!

The cathedral is located just a few hundred feet away from the Kremlin and was the site of the infamous Pussy Riot protest against Putin back in 2012.

Pro Tip: Bring a shawl to cover your hair as is the local custom.

5. Gorky Park

Moscow’s premier green space, Gorky Park (Park Gor’kogo) is the city’s biggest and most famous park. There is entertainment on offer here for every taste, from outdoor dancing sessions to yoga classes, volleyball, ping-pong, rollerblading, and bike and boat rental in summer. In winter, half the park turns into a huge ice skating rink. Gorky Park is also home to an open-air movie theater and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. There is also Muzeon Art Park, a dynamic contemporary space with a unique collection of 700 sculptures. It is located right in front of Gorky Park.

6. Sparrow Hills Park

If you take a walk from Gorky Park, along the Moscow River embankment, you’ll end up in the city’s other legendary park, Sparrow Hills. Although the park doesn’t offer as many activities as its hip neighbor, it has a great panoramic view of the city

Pro Tip: You can take a free walking tour to all of the above attractions with an English-speaking guide.

7. River Cruising

One of the best ways to experience Moscow, and see all the famous landmarks, but from a different angle, is from the Moscow River. Take a river cruise. Avoid the tourist crowds. There are little nameless old boats that do the cruise, but if you are looking for a more luxurious experience take the Radisson Blu cruise and enjoy the sights with some good food and a glass of wine.

8. Metro Hopping

Inaugurated in the 1930s, the Moscow Metro system is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Started in Stalinist times, each station is a work of art in its own right. I’d recommend touring the stations between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This way, you’ll be able to properly see it without the crowds. Ideally, I’d recommend taking a tour with a knowledgeable guide with GuruWalk, who will tell you stories of forgotten stations and how the history of the country is interconnected with the metro development. If going by yourself, then I definitely recommend checking out: Mayakovskaya, Ploschad Revolutsii, Kievskaya, Kropotkinskaya, Kurskaya, and Novoslobodskaya stations.

Visit the free Moscow Metro Museum: For real train enthusiasts, located in the southern vestibule of Sportivnaya station is a small free museum. Here you can take a peek into the driver’s cabin, see a collection of metro tokens from different cities, and see different models of a turnstile, traffic lights, escalator, and more.

9. Moscow State University View

In his effort to create a grander Moscow, Stalin had seven skyscrapers built in different parts of town; they’re called the Seven Sisters. The largest of these buildings and the one with the best view is the main building of the Moscow State University. Although this is a little outside the city center, the view is more than worth it.

10. Izmailovsky Market

Mostly known for the city’s largest flea market, the district of Izmaylovo is home to a maze of shops where you can get just about anything, from artisan crafts to traditional fur hats, handcrafted jewelry, fascinating Soviet memorabilia, and antiquities. It’s also one of Moscow’s largest green spaces. There are often no price tags, so be prepared to haggle a bit. Head to one of the market cafes for a warming mulled wine before continuing your shopping spree.

The History of Vodka Museum is found here, and the museum’s restaurant is the perfect place to sample various brands of the national drink.

Once you’ve covered the more touristy spots, Moscow still has plenty to offer, and the places below will also be full of locals! So for some local vibes, I would strongly recommend the spots below!

11. Moscow City

With a completely different vibe, Moscow City (also referred to as Moscow International Business Center) is like a mini Dubai, with lots of impressive tall glass buildings. Here is where you’ll find the best rooftops in towns, like Ruski Restaurant, the highest restaurant both in Moscow City and in Europe. Moscow City is great for crowd-free shopping and the best panoramic views of the city.

12. Tretyakov Gallery

Tretyakov Gallery started as the private collection of the Tretyakov brothers, who were 19th-century philanthropists. They gave their private collection to the government after their deaths. If there is just one museum you visit in Moscow, I recommend this one!

13. Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Tsaritsyno was a residence of Catherine the Great more than two centuries ago. It became derelict during the Soviet era but has now been fully renovated. With its opulently decorated buildings, gardens, meadows, and forests, Tsaritsyno Park is the perfect place for a green respite in Moscow.

14. Kolomenskoye

A 10-minute metro ride from the city center is Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve, where you can get an idea of what Russia looked like 200 years ago. You’ll find ancient churches (one dating back to the 16th century), the oldest garden in Moscow, and the wonderful fairytale wooden palace of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great.

15. Ostankino TV Tower

Built in 1967, Ostankino TV Tower was the tallest free-standing construction in the world at the time, it’s still the 8th tallest building in the world and the highest in Europe. It’s also the best observation deck, with a glass floor and 360-degree views. The speedy elevators take you 1,105 feet in next to no time.

Pro Tip: You need to book in advance; entrance is based on specific ticket times and the capacity is limited and only a certain number of tourists are allowed per day. Don’t forget your passport, you’ll need it to get through security.

16. Zaryadye Park

Zaryadye is a newly opened, landscaped urban park so new you won’t find it in a lot of tour guides. The park is near Red Square and is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and floodplains, depicting the variety of climatic zones in Russia.

These last three suggestions are a little quirky, but all are really worth checking out.

17. Museum Of Soviet Arcade Games

Release your inner child playing on 66 arcade machines from the Soviet era! What a great way to spend a couple of hours when tired of visiting museums and palaces. The staff speaks excellent English and are happy to explain how the games work.

18. Moscow Rooftop Tour

Take a 1-hour private Moscow rooftop tour with an experienced roofer. I can just about guarantee none of your friends will be able to say they’ve done it! For your comfort, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Take your camera, there are some amazing photo opportunities out there!

19. Sanduny Banya

This classical Russian bathhouse opened its doors in 1808 and is famous for combining traditional Russian banya services with luxurious interiors and service. If you enjoy spas and saunas, then you should experience a Russian bathhouse at least once in your life! Go with an open mind and hire a specialist to steam you as it’s meant to be done — by being beaten repeatedly with a besom (a leafy branch)! This is said to improve circulation, but is best done by a professional!

So there you have my list of things to do in Moscow. I could have gone on and on and on, but I didn’t want to try your patience! There are so many things to do in this vibrant city that you’ll definitely need to allocate several days for exploring.
