Our Transition to Glass Flagons

As of June 2022 we will be replacing our signature porcelain flagon with a beautiful and more sustainable coated glass flagon to reduce our environmental footprint.

From Porcelain to Glass

Towards a More Sustainable Future

We have taken the time to find the right alternative to porcelain to ensure the quality of our blends is maintained, whilst limiting our impact on the environment.

By switching to a coated glass flagon, we are reducing our packaging carbon footprint by over 70% per bottle thanks to a less energy intensive production process and finding a material that is easily recyclable around the world.

A few words from the Global Marketing Director of Royal Salute

Mathieu Deslandes

“It is incredibly important to us that we play our part in taking care of the world around us, by reducing the environmental impact of our whiskies, saving precious natural resources and helping mitigate climate change.

The introduction of this new more sustainable flagon is a crucial step in our journey to ensure all our packaging will be 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.

Looking to the future is at the very heart of Royal Salute; our whisky that is laid down in casks today will be aged for a minimum of 21 years, so we need to act today to meet Royal Salute lovers’ expectations in the future.”

We are striving to roll out this transition to glass flagons throughout our portfolio.
