Nuvola Spirits Pvt. Ltd., which is an Indian craft beverage startup backed by United Spirits of Diageo India, has officially launched Seoulmate Soju in Maharashtra. This expansion of its presence into Mumbai's vibrant nightlife scene comes on the heels of Diageo India’s strategic investment in Nuvola Spirits. The investment, which was aimed at scaling premium, globally inspired lower-ABV craft offerings for urban Indian consumers, solidifies Nuvola Spirits's position in India's fast-expanding flavored and low-ABV spirit segment. From flavors to price, here are all the details.
In Maharashtra, Seoulmate Soju is being served in bottles sized 375 ml with an ABV of 15.5 percent, which is quite low and sessionable. It is also being priced quite affordably, at just INR 650. This rate will remain consistent across bars, restaurants, and other retail outlets.
This Korean-inspired soju is crafted using a clean, smooth, and consistent premium rice distillate base, giving it a premium mouthfeel. The flavor portfolio isn’t any less impressive. It spans refreshing, tropical, nostalgic, and bold taste spectrums and is perfect for every occasion, be it casual sipping, shot rituals, or cocktail experimentation.
