Horse Guards Gin (HGG) aims to revive heritage spirit brands and re-introduce them to modern consumers. The company owns eight heritage trademarks including its latest brands 'Pink Gin' and 'Wing Walker Rum.' HGG intends to become a contender in the Gin and Rum markets that are forecast to grow to $17.36 billion and $21.5 billion by 2025. The company aims to launch two new premium spirits in 2021 and is in early talks around licensing to spirits businesses, including 'Ready To Drink' cocktails. HGG sold 9,000 bottles in 2020 and onboarded distributors who have access to more than 500 outlets. The company is in discussions to sign up distributor agents in Canada, South Africa, and the Middle East. The company's celebrity ambassadors include cricketing legend, Phil Tufnell. It will use the investment to accelerate new brand launches, grow its sales/marketing team, and build strategic alliances to extend brand reach.
