InchDairnie Wins Best Bottle Design at the World Whiskies Awards
We are elated to have won Best Bottle Design at the World Whiskies Awards.
Alongside the expertise of French design house Chic we developed a bottle that shares our philosophy, inspires innovation and delivers unique complexity.
The neck of the bottle is inspired by a particularly significant piece of equipment which can be found deep inside our stillhouse, the hammer mill. There is a perforated plate at the bottom of this advanced piece of equipment, which is so crucial to creating not only RyeLaw, but all other whiskies at the distillery – so it seemed only fitting to make it the inspiration for the bottle’s most distinctive feature.
On the side of the bottle are three ripples, from three precious drops which are converging, symbolising InchDairnie’s three key influences and origins of flavour – The Materials, The Method and The Maturation.
The lip of the bottle is wide, yet elegant and on top sits the stopper. It’s metal with copper created to reflect our strong engineering led distillery. On top of the stopper is a unique pattern surrounding the periodic table inspired numbers and letters; 17 for the year of distillation. RL for RyeLaw and 22 for the year of bottling. The pattern is a description of the flavour profile of RyeLaw – what we call the DNA of RyeLaw.
All of this encompasses visible technology outside, taste of magic inside, produced by glass manufacturing experts Dekorglass and closure designers Guala.
A Sustainable Partnership with Muntons Malt
In this ever-changing landscape of sustainability, we feel we are in safe hands. Much of our carbon footprint is in our cereals, so working directly with both Munton’s and our local Fife farmer at Balgonie Estate, we are working together to reduce this.
Our Longstanding Partnership with Muntons Malt
Our partnership with Muntons has been crucial to our success as a Fife grown, Fife distilled and Fife matured distillery. The relationship we have developed with Balgonie Estates as a result of this, is essential to the ongoing production of our RyeLaw whisky.
InchDairnie Doubles Capacity with Significant Distillery Expansion
As we approach our 10th anniversary next year, we are doubling our production capacity to 4 million litres per year — ushering in a new era of innovation to meet the rising demand for our bold, flavour-led whiskies.
