We’re proud to share our latest creative collaboration: Three Hearts Rum, a new Caribbean spirit from Lost Horizon Spirits, co-founded by Johnny Depp and Bobby DeLeon.

Some projects arrive with a brief. Some arrive with a mythology. Three Hearts Rum arrived with both… and with Johnny Depp opening a window into his personal creative world.

The result is a bottle that tells a story. It is unmistakably Johnny’s story, rooted in the Caribbean, a tribute to the islands that mean so much to him.

Antiqued turquoise glass nods to the sea. A weathered paper label, set in letterpress-style typography, carries the weight of old sailors’ charts. Metal decals, pewter coins, hand-tied leather-cord neck charms, and a skull-and-bones emblem — all inspired by his personal symbols.

The gin Edinburgh deserves

Edinburgh Gin. A definitive London Dry, and the foundation for one of the most varied flavoured gin ranges in the world.

Our brief was to elevate the brand and bring more clarity across the range. Hand-drawn illustrations for each expression, each bottle its own piece of the story. A story that honours fifteen years of boundary-pushing, and sets up the brand’s next chapter.

Packaging that communicates the craft, earns its place on shelf, and stands apart from everything around it.

For Eight Lands Organic Spirits, inspiration sits right outside the distillery's door, in the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

So that's where we looked for our portfolio-wide redesign. Intricate illustrations inspired by the landscape surrounding Glenrinnes Distillery anchor the design firmly in its provenance, celebrating the natural textures of the Scottish Highlands through layered detail and gold foil finishes.

These tactile materials, along with more prominent typography and credentials, combine to initiate a sophisticated new chapter for the award-winning organic spirit brand.

We won Gold at the Dieline Awards. A result that speaks for itself.

Famiglia Santoni was ready for a refresh. We looked to Florentine tilework and the heat of the Tuscan sun to give these bottles the shelf presence they deserve.

The judges agreed. An Italian icon, redefined.

Three awards at Vinitaly.

Congratulations Famiglia Santoni, a triple win at Vinitaly including best in category for Vermouth al Rabarbaro.

Famiglia Santoni has been crafting Italian spirits since 1960. The quality was never in question. The shelf presence was. They came to us to make the brand impossible to ignore.

Clearly, the judges agreed. Complimenti, Famiglia Santoni. Bravi!

High altitude. Low intervention.

At 9,000 ft, the physics of distillation changes. For Alto Canto, the world’s first ‘Tequila de Altura’, the branding and the bottle needed to be as pure as the tequila itself.

A unique, bespoke bottle and branding crafted for this high altitude tequila. The glass features contour lines tracing the topography of the peaks – a physical map of the altitude and the elements that define the spirit.

Innovative yet profoundly traditional. Crafted at 9,000 ft. No pressure.

Craft distillers are winning.

The American Craft Spirits Convention in Sacramento is over, the results are in and we’re proud to be named Top Packaging Partner. Even better, a long list of our clients went home with awards of their own.

We believe in the grit and ambition of craft distillers. Whether you’re upholding tradition, or breaking every rule in the book, we create brands that stand out on the shelf and sell at a premium.

We’re offering something for craft distillers. It’s time to claim your place in next year’s winners’ circle.

Let’s get to work. See link in comments.

Small budget projects sometimes turn into big brands, and occasionally absolute monsters. We’ve been there at the start with some of them. If you’re building something real, let’s talk.
