For over a decade, we have enjoyed a trusting and successful relationship with our partner Diageo – Talisker’s parent company.
Founded in 1830 by the McAskill brothers, Talisker Distillery is considered the oldest distillery on the legendary Isle of Skye.
Talisker is an integral part of the Isle of Skye and has defied wind and weather on its edge for almost 200 years. Produced in the old tradition, inspired by the landscape and the massive rocky coasts, a very special whisky experience is created here.
With over four decades of maturation, the Talisker 43 years Xpedition Oak whisky is the oldest official bottling of the Talisker distillery, which makes it a very special product. Only 1830 bottles of this whisky were bottled and offered for sale.
The challenge in producing the packaging was to precisely match the different types of material. Above all, the accuracy of top to bottom was paramount in order to offer the consumer a smooth and perfect experience when opening the box.
We used milled, FSC-certified solid wood to produce the oval packaging, which is in keeping with the name of the edition. By testing different printing techniques, we were able to find an optimal solution to reproduce the unique motif of the rough sea on the product.
To gain access to the precious contents, first unlock the two locks that are attached to the outside. If you open the box by removing the top half, you will find the unique whisky at the core, embedded in a printed insert with a leather look.
The overall package is rounded off by a beautiful carrying box that not only safely stores the Talisker Distillery 43 years Xpedition Oak, but also makes it transportable.
