Bottles in the collection feature portraits of the wildlife found near the distillery and complement the original art which features in the company’s new base in Glasgow’s art district.

The artwork has been created by Joanna McDonough, Prince’s School of Traditional Arts’ graduate and Speyside Distillery’s artist in residence. The Speyside wildlife collection is being rolled out in support of the school.
