Mombasa Club Gin
I don’t know that much about gin and based on what I’ve seen on TV and film I take it you just use the juniper berry flavored spirit for gin and tonics or perhaps martinis. But I can guess that outside the movies there is as much nerdiness in the gin world as there is in the whiskey or cognac world. Not knowing that much about gin doesn’t stop me from posting about Mombasa Club Gin. A gin distilled in London and bottled in a wonderful, classically ornamented bottle designed by Luis Vázquez from Typesense.
Eau-de-Vie **
Eau-de-Vie ** is a cheap version of a cognac and a essential part of many old (and perhaps forgotten) Swedish long drinks. It’s been part of Systembolagets range of products since 1922. The company that makes it is now days Pernod Ricard but the beautiful, squiggly label, designed sometime in the 1950s, remains more or less unchanged. A true Swedish classic worth a post! > Pernod RicardGo on
Romatics av Smäll
Klas Ernflo som jag skrev om igår jobbar på reklambyrån Smäll i Barcelona och dom har gjort en enkel och snygg profil åt det spanska smoothie-företaget Romantics. Förutom de rena etiketterna så har de även tagit fram en serie annonser och en glad stop motion film som ni självklart kan se efter hoppet. > Smäll > RomanticsGo on
Purity Vodka
At Ellinge castle just outside Eslöv in Skåne you find Purity Vodka’s distillery. Purity Vodka is arguable one of the worlds best premium vodkas but it’t not well know in Sweden and I guess that is a price you pay when you’re made in the same country as Absolut Vodka. Just as Absolut (and all other vodkas?), Purity has a well designed bottle. Purity’s bottle was designed by Martin Lannering at Happy Forsman & Bodenfors. More photos of the ice block looking bottle after the jump. > Purity Vodka > Happy Forsman & BodenforsGo on
Inspiration | Monday, May 30, 2011 I like the details a lot and the shape of the bottle.
