DUNNET BAY DISTILLERS Gin-maker pioneers’ recyclable refi lls
Dunnet Bay Distillers, up at the edge of the world in Caithness, are showing off their growing green creds with a new plastic pouch for their award- winning Rock Rose gin. The fi rst of its kind in the UK, the postal pouch means less of their ceramic bottles are produced as well as cutting down on the shipping energy needed to move the gin around. The pouches are designed to fi t through letterboxes, and once you’ve topped up your bottle, simply pop the pre-addressed pouch in the post back to the distillery for recycling. Plans are afoot to make the pouch fully biodegradable. (Jay Thundercliffe) ■ dunnetbaydistillers.co.uk
