Following the success of its Jim Beam Full Spirit offering, Beam Global Australia has launched the Jim Beam Devil’s Cut RTD, exclusively for the Australian market.

Devil’s Cut 700ml Full Spirit proved to be an instant hit with consumers since launch in March, gaining an impressive six per cent share of the total NAW premium spirit category in just a few months. Building on this notable achievement, the new Devil’s Cut RTD combines the quality, craftsmanship and flavour of Devil’s Cut Full Spirit with a less-sweet cola to let the premium bourbon shine through.

Devil’s Cut RTD is available in 330ml bottle or 375ml can four-packs.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
