Developed as part of Hellfire Brand Club.
One of my favourite projects, done for the lovely people at the Skellig Six18 Distillery. It involved the naming, entire packaging and launch of this most stellar whiskey.
Inspired by the UNESCO heritage site at the point where the stars meet the sea, Skellig Dark Sky Reserve is an exclusive limited edition release of exceptional 23 year old single malt whiskey.
It was distilled at the turn of the century and Atlantic Aged under the stars that have guided kings, travelers, merchants and commerce on their progress for centuries along the Western coast of Ireland onwards to America, Europe and Asia.
Such a premium innovation demanded flawless craftsmanship. The imposing bottle is crowned with a custom wood and copper cork, and adorned with ornate metal decorations, also designed specifically for the project. Every detail, from the paper stock to its fine foiling, and the handcrafted oak box which presents the bottle, engraved Valentia coasters and accompanying booklet, was designed and produced with the highest level of detail.
