Alcohol Brand Name Creation for Pernod Ricard Group’s New Malt Whisky Distillery – THE CHUAN

Pernod Ricard Group made a significant investment in a new Malt Whisky Distillery in China, demonstrating its commitment to the Chinese market and its desire to introduce iconic products and unique experiences to consumers.
