What if the future of luxury… was refillable?

Can a bottle still feel premium when it’s been reused — again and again?

Howard Davies, co-founder of Salcombe Distilling Co., shares a journey that’s as much about place and purpose as it is about crafting perfect spirits. From the spark of a barbecue conversation to scaling a distillery on the water’s edge, Howard pulls back the curtain on the challenges, risks, and breakthroughs of building a luxury brand with heart. If you think sustainability and premium spirits don’t mix, think again. This episode dives deep into how passion, quality, and ethical choices shape every bottle — and why the refill revolution might just be the future of luxury.

Are you ready to rethink what it means to be truly sustainable? To question the status quo? This conversation is for anyone curious about the real craft behind the craft spirit.
