Islay whisky distillery Kilchoman has unveiled its first bottle of mature spirit, the packaging design for which was created by Breeze Creative.

The Glasgow-based design agency has worked with the client before it opened its doors in 2005 having originally designed the brand identity, visitor centre, display materials and signage for Kilchoman.

For this new project which began in Spring of this year, the agency worked closely with Anthony Wills, founder and MD of the distillery, on creating packaging that would reflect the distillery’s very traditional farming distilling ethos but would also be fresh and vibrant as a newcomer to the global market.

The packaging strongly features a brilliant blue, reflecting Islay’s pure water, with gold foil embossing reminiscent of golden barley and the whisky.
