  • Sustainable Scotland: Future proofing Scotch whisky for the years to come
    Sep 1 2025

    Scotch whisky is enjoyed across the world and there are still vast opportunities to reach new consumers, particularly with the recent UK-India trade deal. But the world is constantly changing, so it’s vital that Scotch stays relevant to ensure its continued success in the years to come.


    A new episode of The Scotsman’s Sustainable Scotland podcast delves into the topic of ‘The future of Scotch whisky in changing times'. This reflects on an event Scottish family business McLaren Packaging held in association with The Scotsman earlier this year at Barnbougle Castle on Dalmeny Estate in Edinburgh.
