NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just in time for the holidays, Cocalero Clásico, the premium, South American-inspired, botanical spirit, announces the release of a limited edition bottling in collaboration with RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness, the popular Netflix anime series. The series takes place in the universe based on the wildly popular Resident Evil game franchise and was created by Capcom with TMS Entertainment handling the production. The collector's edition bottle is limited to just 1,000 cases and will be sold exclusively on shopcocalero.com, beginning in early November 2021.
"How better to salute two such iconic brands than coming together to create the ultimate collectors' item?" remarked John Ralph, CEO of Intrepid Spirits and Cocalero founder. "Plus, the November release date is perfect timing for those about to shop for gifts this season; we are anticipating a huge holiday demand for this limited edition Cocalero bottling."
Since its international release in 2013, Cocalero has experienced unprecedented growth in the U.S. and abroad, selling hundreds of thousands of cases and becoming the most successful launch of an imported liqueur in Japan in the last 20 years. This accomplishment led to the initial Japanese collaboration between Cocalero Clásico and Resident Evil earlier this year (Resident Evil is known as "Biohazard" in Japan.) The release celebrates RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness, a Netflix special series made to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Resident Evil, which first released in 1996.
The limited-edition Cocalero / RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness bottles will retail on shopcocalero.com for $34.99, beginning November 2021. Join the waitlist at www.shopcocalero.com/cocalero-x-resident-evil/.
