FORM & FUNCTION, TOGETHER IN ONE BOTTLE We believe that a bottle can be elegant and striking, but also work much harder to add the functionality good packaging deserves. AN EVOLUTIONARY DESIGNOur new bottle shape is a bold and elegant evolution, with the same evocative colours of our region. What’s more, our name and lightning bolt icon now take centre stage. The illustration on each side tells the story of our region’s landscape and natural larder. This creates added texture, […]

The Bowmore Timeless series is designed to celebrate the distillery’s legacy: for over 250 years, Bowmore has insisted the secret behind their cherished whiskies is time: the careful selection of the right casks at the right time, the time it takes the liquid to reach optimum age and the time every master distiller needs to hone their craft. The brief was to develop an ‘disruptive’ idea which encapsulated this idea of time. Our approach: to focus on Bowmore’s beach location and […]

As packaging design briefs for a climate positive, global product launch goes, this one certainly challenged us – in a good way! Ellers Farm Distillery – a new distillery and visitor attraction in North Yorkshire – will soon launch its first global brand, Dutch Barn Vodka. Just another spirits launch you might think – until you learn sustainability is at the very heart of the distillery’s proposition, that it will be carbon neutral from day one, and is already in the process […]

Eye On The Past, Vision For The Future Finn Thomson’s multifaceted family history imbues every element of our design, as typified in the bottle itself. We designed a one-of-a-kind nine-sided bottle to celebrate the nine generations of Thomson whisky. The FT monogram, which unites the initials of all nine family members, sits front and centre. The bottle tapers in at the bottom into the shape of a nonagon sunburst, symbolising the moment when Finn and his father resolved to reignite […]

A critical and highly skilled part of the whisky making process that requires a lot of experience to ensure a consistent flavour profile for peated and unpeated whisky.

Moisture content, temperature control and the need to render enzymes inactive before milling.   The Kilnsmans’ Dram celebrates the dedication, experience and ability to read the requirements of a malting floor and […]
