“As a B Corp certified distillery, we believe in using our business as a force for good, and it’s brilliant to partner with a like-minded company who shares our commitment to flavor, quality ingredients and sustainability”, says Douglas Taylor, Bruichladdich Distillery CEO. “Working with ButcherBox allows us to bring together the finest meat and seafood with two of our most popular Islay single malt Scotch whiskies, creating an unforgettable dining experience this holiday season.”
Aligning with ButcherBox’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, to curate a selection of high-quality and humanely cultivated meat products, this collaboration reflects Bruichladdich’s dedication to responsible production methods and environmental stewardship, by focusing on barley provenance and investment in their community on the island of Islay, Scotland.
“Gathering with friends and family around the table for the holidays can be an overwhelming experience, particularly for the hosts, but with our unique Bruichladdich pairing, it doesn’t have to be,” said Mike Salguero, founder and CEO of ButcherBox. “Being able to find partners that align to our mission of doing good for all is something we truly value and will change the way consumers host gatherings at home this holiday season.”
In addition to meal and cocktail recipes, the “Your Holiday Feast, Perfectly Paired” recipe booklet includes educational materials that provide insight into how the two brands selected each meat and mixology pairing, and guidance to help customers elevate their experience with tips and tricks of the trade, such as on how to properly temper and rest proteins and set up their prep stations to craft the perfect cocktail.
