Maltonic, a malt drink originally produced by Sona Breweries is back in the market after six years absence.

The brand first made its debut in 1986 as a drink fortified with vitamin C, the company said in a statement.

The drink went dormant in 2011 after the sale of Sona Breweries beer assets to Nigerian Breweries Plc. The ownership of Maltonic was transferred to Euro Global Foods and Distilleries Limited, a unit of Sona Group.
