Coppy Spirit Distillery Whisky

Coppy Spirit Distillery Whisky

To encapsulate the essence of Copper Spirit Distillery’s 100% Canadian Rye Whisky, Glasfurd & Walker embarked on a journey to visually narrate the rich narrative of the brand and its unique connection to Bowen Island. The bottle design, a masterful creation by Glasfurd & Walker, goes beyond a mere container for liquid gold; it stands as a testament to the distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship and the island’s natural allure.

Copper, a material synonymous with the distillation process, takes center stage in the design, reflecting the brand’s name and expertise. The copper screen detail on the whisky bottle acts as a delicate veil, subtly revealing the intricate wood grain texture beneath. This texture serves as an homage to the oak barrels that cradle and mature the whisky, symbolizing both the natural process of distillation and the aging journey that each spirit undergoes.

The incorporation of this wood grain texture not only pays homage to the traditional aspects of whisky production but also acts as a visual bridge between the bottle and the natural surroundings of Bowen Island. Each bottle becomes a canvas, portraying the island’s rugged landscapes and serene beauty through a fusion of organic patterns and refined aesthetics.

The choice of a boutique craft distillery and tasting lounge on Bowen Island as the birthplace of this unique whisky adds another layer of authenticity to the design. By tapping into the pristine west coast water and utilizing organic BC grains, Copper Spirit Distillery emphasizes its commitment to quality, sustainability, and local sourcing. The German copper stills, a nod to Old-World craftsmanship, stand as silent witnesses to the meticulous distillation process, contributing to the overall narrative of a brand that values tradition in a modern context.

Beyond the physical design, the packaging serves as a visual ode to the poetry of distillation. The intricate copper screen detail captures not only the aesthetic beauty of the wood grain but also the spirit of the island itself, reflecting its nuances and idiosyncrasies. It’s a story told through every ripple in the wood-like pattern, a narrative that intertwines the brand with the landscape, forming a cohesive and authentic identity.

Glasfurd & Walker’s design for Copper Spirit Distillery’s 100% Canadian Rye Whisky bottle elevates the brand beyond a mere product, turning it into a work of art that encapsulates the island’s essence. It’s not just a vessel for whisky; it’s a visual symphony that harmonizes tradition, craftsmanship, and nature, creating a sensory experience that begins long before the first sip.
