Royal Salute has collaborated with designer Richard Quinn to create a limited-edition high-fashion Scotch NFT.
While it’s always nice to have a good whisky on the home bar shelf with which to celebrate life’s little achievements, having a bottle that might actually increase in value is always welcomed. Developed in partnership with Blockbar, which has led the luxury alcohol NFT scene of late, this striking new Royal Salute release represents the first fashion collaboration NFT on the company’s books.

The buyer may choose to redeem the physical product, and have it delivered from BlockBar’s secure storage facility, safely trade its NFT version within the BlockBar.com marketplace, keep in their virtual bar or gift the NFT through BlockBar’s new gifting platform.
The Royal Salute House of Quinn by Richard Quinn design was created exclusively by Richard Quinn for this expression and is a homage to his bold and colourful collections.
