The leading company is home to several brands of repute, including White & Blue Whisky, Old Smuggler Scotch and Rum.
Targeting young and affluent consumers across India, the campaign will be built around the idea of ‘Taste the Good Life’. The idea has been developed on the basis of extensive consumer research conducted by the brand. The research identified lifestyle and camaraderie as key drivers for consumption in this whisky segment and Golf emerged as a key lifestyle sport.

These events will take place in 6 cities across November and December, commencing from 1 November.

It would include Golfer’s shot Good Life Experience corner, created in premium bars and pubs with premium brand interaction and drinking experience including plush comfortable recliners, tasteful enjoyment of complimentary drinks with a beautiful picture perfect background. Along with this, guests will also be provided with Golfer’s shot branded glasses, headphones and a unique picture of them drawn by an artist on the spot.
Golf simulation games will also be one of the interesting events at the campaign that customers can experience. Romesh Pandita adds, “Association with Golf comes naturally to the brand given its name of Golfer’s Shot. And there is no sports more lifestyle than Golf.”
As a part of this experiential program, consumers will be invited to try their hands at the game of Golf and the winners will be gifted with free shots and exciting gifts.

Alcobrew Distilleries India is one of India's youngest and fastest-growing liquor manufacturers. A dynamic supply chain, established network and exemplary products have led to its impressive growth. The company caters to civil, canteen store depots and institutional markets in liquor, all across India; and abroad.
Alcobrew began its journey with the production of Gruppo Campari's Old Smuggler Scotch Whisky and rum from December 2006 for the Indian market. 2010 marked a momentous occasion for the company as it became the official licensee of Gruppo Campari's Old Smuggler brand in India. By 2012, confident with the expertise gained from working with the international brand, Alcobrew launched White & Blue, its own label in the semi-premium liquor segment.
Encouraged by the product's tremendous success in the market, two years later in 2014, Golfer's Shot from the house of Alcobrew, made its way to the premium liquor segment.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
