Housed in a red-coated glass flagon, its colour holds symbolisms of regality and auspiciousness. On the packaging, its design tells the story of the expression’s journey from its iconic Strathisla distillery in Scotland to the emblematic Tower of London before settling in the Far East where an Asian garden pagoda and bridge surround it — paying tribute to the culture and prosperity of Asian markets.
