British Scotch whisky distiller Royal Salute has released two limited edition blends in partnership with fashion designer Richard Quinn, celebrating the union between the fashion industry and the whisky industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two blends marked the first release of Royal Salute's Couture Collection; a new line of collectable whiskies celebrating cutting-edge creativity in fashion. First unveiled as part of London Fashion Week 2021, the Richard Quinn Edition is inspired by the designer\u2019s unique style of reinterpreting classic flower patterns with a modern and edgy twist.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between Royal Salute<\/span><\/a> and Richard Quinn<\/span><\/a> is rooted in a shared desire to push their craft beyond expectation. Pushing the boundaries of whisky blending is at the heart of Royal Salute, whilst Richard's bold, elegant and emotive style has seen him receive critical acclaim, notably from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, honouring his work with the prestigious Award for British Design in 2018.<\/p>\n
