10 beautiful spirit bottle labels
01. Stranger & Stranger Absinthe No. 12
Stranger & Stranger
are no strangers to packaging design: they do some of the most
elaborate and creative bottle and label designs in the industry. So one
should expect nothing less than amazing from their limited edition
holiday give-away bottle of Absinthe.
The ornate detailing in gold and silver is top notch and
invokes the spirit of early 20th century Paris where you might find
Earnest Hemingway sitting in darkly lit Parisian bar with this very
bottle.
02. Espolón Tequila
Having an illustration dominate your label is a rarity in
the liquor world, but Espolón Tequila pulls it off in stellar fashion.
Artist Steven Noble
illustrated the label with a traditional Day of the Dead motif. The
label is meant to celebrate the culture of Mexico and includes fictional
characters that retell the story of Mexico’s past.
03. Joss Vodka
A new premium vodka definitely needs a new premium look. The team at Archrival
created a label with lavish floral details that feel both classical and
glamorous. The choice of a near pink color is immediately eye-catching
and really helps to make Joss Vodka standout in a crowd.
04. Hooghoudt Gin
Hooghoudt Gin bottles designed by PROUDdesign
are bold, colourful, and informative. The Hooghoudt logo is painted
directly on the bottle and is raised off the surface slightly to give a
nice tactile feel. The label for each flavor of gin features
illustrations of the base ingredients such as lavender or cranberry. The
numbers on the labels correspond to the number of the recipe in
Hooghoudt’s 'cookbook' which holds a lot of history as they have been
distilling gin in the Netherlands since 1888.
05. 1000 Acres Vodka
Sometimes it doesn’t take a fancy label to differentiate
between vodkas. 1000 Acres Vodka proves that bottle design can sometimes
say more than a label. The Arnell Group,
who created the look of the 1000 Acres Vodka bottles, kept the use of
typography to a minimum, giving them a simple and clean look. The 'wow'
factor is in the bottle’s design where they use interesting shapes or
slightly tweak the look of a traditional bottle.
06. Woodford Reserve
Vodka distillers are not the only ones who can keep things
minimal. Brown-Forman’s Woodford Reserve bottle is unpretentious in its
simplicity. The lack of a highly elaborate and decorative label allows
the bourbon within the bottle to speak for itself. The small paper label
towards the bottom of the bottle gives you information about your
bourbon including its batch and bottle number, as well as the signature
of who approved the quality of the product.
07. Jose Cuervo Traditional Tequila
One word you would probably not use to describe Jose
Cuervo’s label design for their limited edition Day of The Dead bottles
is 'minimal'. This festive design is reminiscent of tattoo art and
depicts a skull, which is a common motif found in the Day of the Dead
celebration. While you might think you are looking at four different
bottle designs, in fact what you are seeing is two designs that change
colour as they are chilled.
08. OOLA Gin and Vodka
Back in Colonial America, physicians used alcohol as a painkiller. So it is easy to see what inspired designer Brian Piper
when he created the labels for OOLA’s gin and vodka bottles. The label
design is very reminiscent of old medicine bottles and even includes the
chemical formula break down of each alcohol right on the label.
09. Reyka Vodka
A new trend in label design for liquor is not just about an
eye-catching graphic, but also the tactile experience of holding the
bottle. Distiller Willam Grant and Sons wanted a rebranding of Reyka,
their Icelandic vodka. They worked with Here Design
to come up with a label that appears as handcrafted as the vodka. The
label consists of embossed lettering and illustrations on a nicely
textured paper.
10. Stranger & Stranger Spirit No. 13
When compiling a list of 10 standout liquor label designs it is hard not to make every one a Stranger & Stranger
designed bottle. It seems only fitting to end cap this list with one
more of their creations. Spirit No. 13 is another limited edition
holiday give-away liquor that features one of the most detailed labels
you will ever see. The label just screams vintage and consists of over
500 words. To top it all off, the bottle is presented wrapped in a
specially printed piece of newspaper that gives it what they call a
'moonshine' feel.
