Taffer’s Mixologist, Created By ‘Bar Rescue’s Jon Taffer And Dr. Phil’s Son Jay McGraw

For the past 12 months BIG SKY PACKAGING has been working directly with the Taffer group, ultimately creating the perfect packaging solution for this non-alcoholic mixer in customized stock packaging.

Taffer’s Mixologist, created by Jon Taffer, host of Bar Rescue, and Dr. Phil’s son Jay McGraw, comes in seven flavors. Taffer’s Mixology collection of cocktails was unveiled recently on Dr. Phil, and the success is quickly gaining momentum.

With the help of the BIG SKY PACKAGING team; Taffer’s Mixologist launched seven non-alcoholic, pre-mixed bottles of ingredients co-developed with mixologist Brian Van Flandren. The available cocktails include Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Mojito, Piña Colada, Skinny Margarita, and Strawberry Margarita. To curb calories, the mixes are sweetened by a combination of cane sugar, stevia leaf extract, and monk fruit extract, along with other natural flavors and juices from the concentrate.

Each 32-ounce bottle retails for under $6.00 and contains nine to 13 servings, according to the brand, and is now available in retail stores nationwide, including Walmart.

Papa’s Pilar Expands Its Expressions

It’s truly remarkable to think about how far the company has come since it first launched in 2013 with its blonde and dark expressions, opening its distillery in Key West, to its ongoing release of unique expressions with custom spirit packaging that continue to impress.

The Hemingway Rum Company and Papa’s Pilar understand the importance and impact of personalization in packaging, having clearly demonstrated their dedication by continually offering new brand expressions, all while using the same custom packaging the brand was built on.  By using the brands core packaging closure and plaque components cast in metal, and personalizing each new expression through custom color plating, the Papa’s brand achieves a “fresh” look year after year.

Far too often “custom” packaging is deemed to be expensive, time-consuming, or simply outside the development comfort zone of the brand owner.  In reality, by engineering flexible custom packaging you actually give your brand the opportunity to connect personally and mature with your consumers, as your brand grows.  The ability to create affordable custom packaging, that distinguishes you from competitors in the space, is 100% achievable and directly elevates the perceived value of your brand.

Loch & Union Distilling 2018 | Racks Up 17 Individual Spirit Awards!

The 2018 calendar year proved to be a busy one for Loch & Union Distillery in Napa Valley, CA.   Awards ranging from Custom Spirits Packaging, Best in Class, to  Best California Gin Distillery the Loch & Union team has been making its presence in the industry known.

“Gin has many styles and variations and every distiller has their own way of doing things, like Grandma who swears by her apple pie. We’ve taken inspiration from the classics and made them our own.”Loch & Union

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Slightly vanilla tinged with heady notes of grilled mushroom, wet leaves, and a hint of anise and baking spice.

(The Gin Is In) Loch & Union’s Barley Gin wears the barley on its sleeve. The nose is full of classic hallmarks of malted barley. It’s slightly funky, slightly warming, and especially in the case of Barley Gin— it’s really nice. And balanced as well. Aromatics from the botanicals come through and add intrigue and depth. Notes of orange, cocoa, anise, and resiny juniper lie just under the surface.

Barley Gin is aromatically complex, but it’s primarily about the grain.

Palate: Grain and Madagascar vanilla bean husk early, juniper and cocoa beans mid-palate with orange and raspberry on the finish. 

Barley Gin takes a second to hit the palate. There’s a slight hint of grain and vanilla early. The creaminess segues into a mid-palate where the botanicals really roar. Juniper is a secondary player here, but present.
