Averell Damson Plum Gin Liqueur is featured in the 2020 holiday gift guide curated by Imbibe. We recently redesigned the packaging and gave the heirloom, electrifying, bright Damson plums from New York State the spotlight it fully deserved. With a fresh new label design, Averell Damson Plum gin liqueur is a wonderfully tart addition to cocktails that call for sloe gin. https://imbibemagazine.com/2020-holiday-gift-guide/

Third extract of our new illustration work for @plantation.rum . The Extreme Collection N4, consisting of 8 different double-aged rums, illustrates the sea voyage of rum merchants as they transport barrels from the Caribbean islands to the port of La Rochelle, France. Each limited edition -bottle and gift box- details a specific moment / location of the journey, which, when aligned all together, creates a 1m long fresco.

The hospitality industry has been very badly hit by the pandemic. This year, all funds raised by the week long initiative @negroniweek are supporting the bar and restaurant industry. If you can, go to negroniweek.com to find the organization(s) you’d like to donate to. Every day this week, we’ll make a contribution to each of them, as well as enjoy a Negroni or two along the way.

Very proud of our Icelandic client Eyland Spirits for adding a second coveted gold medal to the newly born Olafsson Gin. It’s been a busy year since the brand creation -including concept, liquid development and design- to the successful launch in its birth country - fastest spirit growth in the Vinbudin stores- despite Covid. #packagingdesign #brandcreation #gin #spirits #iwsr #ginmasters #iceland

Happy National Tequila Day! Don’t mind us if we sip on Tequila Villa Lobos Los Hombres limited edition, an Extra Anejo aged 10 years in American oak barrels, celebrating the long partnership between Carlos Camarena’s and Dale Sklar’s families.

Oh look, Plantation Rum is on CNN! https://www.cnn.com//ar/jamaican-rum-authentic/index.html

Happy World Gin Day! We’re so happy to have been involved in the inception, packaging design and overall development of @olafssongin , a wonderful Icelandic gin (the best, right, Arnar?). Is today another excuse to enjoy a delicious martini? Maybe...

Happy National Cognac Day! Not that we need an excuse to talk, educate about, promote, pour or shake and enjoy the first cognac house, Augier Cognac , and its 3 unique terroir-driven expressions. Cheers!

Six spirits that evoke far-off destinations written by Liza Weisstuch for the Washington Post features our client, Old Duff Genever: Genever is a parent of whiskey, explains Philip Duff, founder and owner of Old Duff Genever, which he produces at one of the few remaining family-owned distilleries in Holland. Think of it like this: Normally you only see the descendant of a dinosaur, how things transmogrified over time. But if you drink real genever, you’re drinking exactly what ruled the world in the 1600s, he says. It was the most-exported spirit category in the world for decades, until after the 1900s. In 1852, the ships in New York’s harbor brought over 450 bottles of genever for every bottle of English gin.

As an act of solidarity, we are muting our content on this BlackOutTuesday in order to amplify melanated voices and listen to the voices that need to be heard and elevated. Instead we are sharing our love and support for an Afro-American artist we are very fond of, Kara Walker, a California-born artist, who explores issues of race in her work. Rather than opt for a bright color palette, however, Walker often works in monochrome, whether crafting a faux-stone fountain, a sugar... sphynx, or, most prominently, her signature silhouettes. Walker began creating silhouettes in 1994. Since then, she has continued to use these large-scale vignettes to creatively address the prevailing history of racism in the United States. Often, she imagines scenes set in the Antebellum Southa fitting focal point considering the roots of the cut-paper craft. I had a catharsis looking at early American varieties of silhouette cuttings, she said. What I recognize, besides narrative and historicity and racism, was very physical displacement: the paradox of removing a form from a blank surface that in turn creates a black hole. See more
