Commenting on the launch, Neil Macleod, Sales & marketing director at Revolution group said: “We are excited to introduce Bachata into Revolucion de Cuba bars. It’s a premium product with an element of fun and it fits well with our brand. I’m sure our customers will enjoy it.’’

Flagship Brands is known for importing Russian vodkas such as Flagship and Matrioshka and is associated to Baltic Beer Company, owners of Viru Premium Estonian Beer.

The RSP for Bachata is £1.40 - £1.50
