全球首款PET塑料瓶单一麦芽威士忌问世 苏格兰Ardnamurchan专供挪威市场
苏格兰高地酒厂Ardnamurchan将旗舰单一麦芽威士忌AD/装入可回收PET塑料瓶，专供挪威国营酒类专卖店Vinmonopolet销售，500ml售价399挪威克朗（约43美元）。酒厂称这是全球首款以PET塑料瓶上市的单一麦芽苏格兰威士忌，契合挪威高达90%-98%的回收率与酒厂可持续理念。Vinmonopolet表示，这是其推出的首款押金回收PET瓶单一麦芽威士忌。苏格兰威士忌协会规定瓶身只需用「惰性材料」制成，PET符合要求。
The Scottish Highland distillery has bottled its flagship AD/ single malt in recyclable plastic for the Norwegian market.
Ardnamurchan single malt in PET plastic may be a world-first.
The Ardnamurchan AD/ is now available to purchase from Norway's state alcohol monopoly Vinmonopolet in a 500ml PET format for Kr399 (US$43).
Inside the plastic bottle is the same combination of peated and unpeated Highland single malt, aged in Bourbon and Sherry casks, available in traditional glass bottles in other markets.
In Norway, recycling rates are incredibly high, around 90-98%, Ardnamurchan's international sales manager Graeme Mackay told The Spirits Business.
A spokesperson for Vinomopolet said the Ardnamurchan AD/ 500ml PET bottling is part of Vinmonopolet's ongoing sustainability strategy, and is the first single malt Scotch whisky launched by Vinmonopolet in a PET bottle with deposit.
In addition to being lighter than traditional glass bottles, PET bottles require less energy to manufacture and are less prone to breakage during transit.
