Papa’s Pilar Rum | Flexibility in Custom Spirit Packaging

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 Gin – 2018 Spirit Awards

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.

Custom Spirits by Coppercraft Distillery | Holland, MI

The Coppercraft Custom Spirit Legacy Continues

Handcrafting premium spirits begins with iconic spirits packaging, and authentic ingredients, distilled and aged in the traditional manner…. otherwise known as “The Coppercraft Way” in Holland, Michigan.

Coppercraft Distillery wants you to think about Western Michigan when you think about liquor.  The Coppercraft team continually strives to “produce the finest blended American craft whiskeys.”   It’s very ambitious for a distillery — but very achievable —  that was founded in 2012, and was purchased by the DeVos family in 2016.

To expand the Coppercraft offerings, the team has partnered with acclaimed Master Blender, Nancy Fraley, who has incorporated traditional cognac methods to help us create our new selection of American Craft Blended Whiskies, which delivers the best, hand-crafted aged bourbons and rye into a bottle.

The common Coppercraft goal is to create a legacy that embraces hard work and celebrates our community of family and friends.

At BeautyX Retail Summit’s Race For Shelf Space

Race For Shelf Space, the pitch competition capping BeautyX Retail Summit in Dallas, concluded with each of the participating brands, Groh, Skin Probiotics, and Wannabe, walking away with prizes from the retail judges.

Judges Jenny Duranski, owner of Lena Rose, and Jennifer Robinson, associate divisional merchandising manager of Neiman Marcus, picked bioactive skincare authority Skin Probiotics, and hair and scalp care brand Groh as the winners, respectively.

Congratulations to our friends at Groh for the continued success!

“Body” by Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian first added custom fragrance to her repertoire in 2009, when she released a namesake perfume that smelled of gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine. KKW Fragrance has since released a crystal-inspired trio of scents (Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus, and Crystal Gardenia Oud) and in February, launched three Valentine’s-Day themed Kimoji Hearts perfumes (Bae, Ride Or Die, and BFF) under the KKW Fragrance brand name. However, her latest release, KKW Body is by far the most buzzed about. From the anatomically correct copy of Kim’s torso to the summer-inspired scent, has been the subject of controversy since the KKW Beauty mogul first started showing it off.

Bright, energetic bergamot embracing a burst of juicy peach nectar.  In the heart, the rich lusciousness of jasmine sambac meets the fresh beauty of the rose.  Ylang Ylang from Moheli lends texture and depth the o the body that eventually dries to a rich hand luxurious base of skin woods and musk that keeps the narcotic effect alive for hours.

BIG SKY PACKAGING: Engineering and production of fragrance glass, customized sandstone spray for surface color and texture, custom collar clip and pump.

Congratulations to our friends at KKW Fragrance for the continued success!
