At

Single Malt Dreams

, we are committed to eliminating unnecessary packaging. Excess packaging materials have a negative environmental impact and cost consumers extra money.

Our primary focus is on the quality of the liquid.

A secondary focus is on exciting and beautiful label design. We don't want tins or boxes to distract us or our customers from what Single Malt Dreams is really about: great whisky.

The only packaging we use, beyond the plain cardboard boxes each six-pack is shipped in, is a compostable bag encasing each bottle during shipping to protect it and the label. We want our bottles to be opened and enjoyed, not to sit in a box or a tin on a shelf. So please enjoy responsibly, which for us includes doing away with unnecessary packaging.
