There are innovations, there are collaborations and there are gimmicks.
The new Johnnie Walker x Sabrina Carpenter collaboration sounds very much on the gimmicky edge of the scale.
Not that the Diageo team behind the project cares. It is boasting about celebrating "bold creativity through a collectible new bottle inspired by the confident, unapologetic vibe of Sabrina's album, Man's Best Friend".
The puffery surrounds a new limited-edition Johnnie Walker Black Label bottle design created as part of the brand's ongoing collaboration with "global superstar Sabrina Carpenter".
Featuring details inspired by her new album "from a bespoke Sabrina blue colourway to playful dog paw motifs, the design blends the timeless character of Johnnie Walker Black Label with Sabrina's signature style".
The bottle marks the latest chapter in Johnnie Walker and Carpenter's multi-year partnership, "which brings together two cultural icons connected by a shared belief in progress".
I'm puzzled by both the crossover demographics and the blatant hype.
AI tells me: "Sabrina Carpenter's core fanbase is predominantly female (around 65% to 75%) and consists largely of young adults aged 18 to 30, though she also draws a notable tween and teen audience".
"I adore creating little surprises for my fans, and this felt like such a cool way to bring the world of Man's Best Friend to life," Carpenter says .
"I love telling stories beyond music, so getting to put my own spin on something as iconic as the Johnnie Walker Black Label bottle was such a fun challenge. I can't wait for everyone to see all the little details."
The limited-edition Johnnie Walker Black Label Sabrina Carpenter bottle will be available in both 70cl and 75cl formats (40% ABV), with a recommended retail price in line with Johnnie Walker Black Label.
It is available in Britain now before rolling out across additional markets including Mexico, India, selected markets across Europe and Asia Pacific.
