The Glencallum - for the road less travelled



Glen Callum Bay sits on the Southern corner of the Isle of Bute close to the Firth of Clyde off the West coast of Scotland. For generations, the Rubh'an Eun lighthouse, which towers over Glen Callum Bay, has made safe the treacherous journey from Glasgow into the Firth of Clyde and beyond. The stunning bay with its rocky shoals, sandy beach and hardy lighthouse has always been a place treasured by brave, adventurous Scots as their last gasp of home before taking the road less travelled on their journey to the New World and beyond.
Limited edition single malts from Adelphi - 'Laudale' and 'Fascadale'





Nevis Design recently completed the branding and packaging for the limited edition single malt 'Fascadale' from Adelphi. Fascadale, meaning 'ship's haven', lies on the north-west point of the rugged, and timeless, Ardnamurchan peninsula where whispered tales of smuggling abound. Adelphi only select the finest casks, and bottle without colouring or chill filtration. Nevis has worked with Adelphi for more than twelve years and has created branding and packaging for a wide variety of special bottlings, selections of which are now available in exclusive outlets worldwide. This reflects their position as the most acclaimed independent bottler of single casks of rare malt whisky.
A special relationship

Simon Fraser, the current Lord Lovat, commissioned Adelphi Distillery to source a single cask of the highest quality, in order to pay tribute to his illustrious ancestor.

Classic whisky brands should always stand the test of time. Our whisky branding experience stretches back over 20 years. Here are a couple of classic brands that we had the pleasure of working on.

Deerstalker

Deerstalker

The Deerstalker Scotch whisky brand name has a long and distinctive heritage going back to the 1880s, when it was established by the Leith wine and spirit merchant J G Thomson & Co. Our design highlighted the iconic elements of the brand to help create a timeless, emotional connection with consumers.
Hedges & Butler

Hedges & Butler's reputation for quality and refinement earned it a contract in 1837 to be the official supplier of wine and spirits to Queen Victoria's family. We designed packaging that reflected the quality and heritage of the brand.
