Scottish Distillery's "Heresy": Whisky in Aluminium Bottles

A Scottish distillery is testing aluminium bottles for its whisky, a move some may call heresy. Stirling Distillery, one of Scotland's smallest, wants to make the industry more sustainable. The project risks shocking purists. Whisky drinkers and tourists are often captivated by the traditional amber glass bottles. These line the shelves of Scotland's bars, restaurants, and hotels. The distillery says aluminium is lighter and far easier to recycle than glass. This could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of each bottle.
