The Thomas Dakin Bar served signature \u2018Tom & Tonics\u2019 and \u2018Manchester Bee\u2019 cocktails to travellers during June.<\/p>\n

The pop-up bar is part of an integrated plan in travel retail to showcase the small-batch gin to travellers in key airports across Europe.<\/p>\n

David Hume from Thomas Dakin Distillers said: \u201cWorking in partnership with our friends at Biza Tax & Duty Free, we have been overwhelmed by the positive response to Thomas Dakin by travellers using Manchester Airport. The distinctive packaging, taste and local roots of our gin have been a real hit with local, national and international travellers, as illustrated by our record sales, and we look forward to building on this success with Biza Tax & Duty Free in the months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigel Sandals, liquor category buying manager for World Duty Free in the UK, said: \u201cThe gin category continues to go from strength to strength, so this was absolutely the right time to introduce a local, artisan gin with a strong regional connection to Manchester Airport. It has been extremely well received and we look forward to doing more with Thomas Dakin.\u201d<\/p>\n
