February 2, 2011 Comments Off

Coley Porter Bell has designed a hand crafted decanter for Chivas Brothers’ Royal Salute whisky, which will retail for $2,200 (£1,357)

The Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute decanter is made by Darlington Crystal and is hand blown and hand cut. It incorporates opaque double walls allowing decorative cuts to be made to the outer wall, revealing the whisky inside.

A cut crystal stopper crowns the bottle and is decorated in 24 carat gold. The crest is created from liquid gold and applied by hand. Each decanter takes over 40 hours to manufacturer.

“We designed this beautiful decanter to reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the whisky that has been 40 years in the making,” said Royal Salute design director at Coley Porter Bell, Stuart Humm. “That level of expertise and care must be communicated through the packaging.”

He added: “We think we have achieved a balance of masculinity and elegance, which reflects both the brand’s Scotch credentials and its luxury positioning.”

The Royal Salute brand was launched in 1953 in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her coronation. Chivas Bothers is the Scotch whisky and premium gin division of Pernot Ricard.
