Whiskey Label Design for Short Path Distillery

Whiskey Label Design for Short Path Distillery

Project type: packaging design, label design, whiskey label design

Project details: I worked with Short Path Distillery on a limited edition label design their No Man’s Hands Whiskey — a spirit made entirely by women and non-binary makers from grain to glass, in collaboration with Pink Boots Society. The first, and possibly only whiskey of its kind! I worked with the team to create a clean, unique label design that captures the collaborative, inclusive nature of the spirit, while also feeling distinct and different from their typical product line. I created a hand lettered title housed in expressive, overlapping shapes to help convey the collaborative nature. The colors add some pop, help the bottle feel distinct from the other offerings and play into the conceptual themes.
