ODD ALWAYS MAKES INTERESTING
What do you get when you combine the consumer trend of high-quality craftmanship, a generation rebelling against the “norm” and a company renowned for creating award-winning beverages? You get Odd Company, an RTD brand that might look and sound a little different – but that’s exactly the point. The fun and vibrant cans, with their distinctive iridescent shine, will also make them stand out from the crowd. Each variant is marked by a unique character, a light-hearted play on qualities that people may see in themselves or others: The Fancy One, The Party Guy and The Cheeky One, each with its own expressive flavour of either Gin or Vodka mixed with unique natural flavours such as cucumber, yuzu and black tea. Everybody is a little odd in their own way, so celebrate it.
