Chocolatier Anton Berg forges new partnerships

Toms Group’s international growth brand, Anthon Berg, is strengthening its position through strategic partnerships with Pernod Ricard and Luxardo. These collaborations reflect shifting consumer preferences and support the brand’s ambition for continued growth.

In Autumn 2025, the portfolio will expand with two new international launches: the Luxardo Cherry Liqueur Bottle and the Kahlúa Praline.


The Baileys range and business, which have experienced impressive growth of over 400 percent in the past two years, stand as a success story. This strategy also forms the foundation for the launch of the new partnerships.

Anthon Berg offers the world’s widest selection of partner brands, collaborating with 20 different brands represented in over 300 airports globally. In Autumn 2025, the portfolio will expand with two exciting new international launches: the Luxardo Cherry Liqueur Bottle and the Kahlúa Praline.

“We are continuously working to strengthen and develop our partnerships. Two clear consumer trends show increased demand for stronger flavour experiences and ‘no- or low-alcohol’ products – which is why we are proud to present the new Kahlúa and Luxardo variants,” Jens Egelund Jakobsen, Head of International Marketing at Toms Group, says.

While the classic alcohol-filled liqueur bottles still remain a crucial part of the core business, the company has noted a growing consumer trend toward “low-alcohol” products and emerging markets lacking premium offerings.

“The cherry syrup harmonizes perfectly with the taste and complements the dark chocolate bottle beautifully. We see significant market potential, and we are not shy to say that the combination of Luxardo Maraschino and Anthon Berg’s dark chocolate is nothing short of a taste sensation,” Jens Egelund Jakobsen, further elaborating on the Kahlúa partnership, says and continues.

“Millennials are driving growth in specialty coffee shops in Western markets. By combining Kahlúa with chocolate, we tap directly into the global coffee trend and launch a product that captures the zeitgeist while opening up new market opportunities.”

Alcohol-filled liqueur bottles remain a core part of the business
