Dartington Crystal chosen by Royal Salute

Scotch whisky brand Royal Salute is using bespoke hand-crafted decanters by Devon based Dartington Crystal for its most prestigious blend – Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute.

Dartington Crystal - the last surviving volume glass makers in the UK - makes each decanter by hand at its workshops in Torrington. Using the finest midnight blue crystal, each piece is decorated with 18 carat gold and crowned with a cut crystal stopper.
       
Neil Hughes, managing director for Dartington Crystal comments: “It has been some time since a British crystal company has worked with such an internationally renowned brand, so I feel proud we have been able to keep the operation entirely UK based, especially given that the product is aimed primarily at the Asian market.”

62 Gun Salute duty free RRP US$2,200
