DEPTH - Cacao Liqueu

Hitting the liquor store aisles, and quite possibly your taste buds, I am thrilled to share my new bottle design work for Sound Spirits Distillery! 

The new DEPTH series was inspired by cocktail culture and the Art Deco movement of the 20's and 30's. DEPTH-Cacao Liqueur was made using Seattle's own Theo Chocolates and is big on flavor, not on the sweet. So far the feedback from distillery tastings have been off the charts. The DEPTH-Cacao Liqueur is just 1 of 3 in a series (Menthe Liqueur and Vow Of Silence) due out in the next few weeks. Cheers!

One of the greatest mistakes on building a brand is wanting to look like something, instead of be something and reflect it.
