Sacred Gin Bespoke Glass Bottle

The Company

Sacred Spirits is an independent distillery, founded in 2008 by Ian Hart and Hilary Whitney based in Highgate, north London. A pioneer of the recent gin renaissance, Sacred was the first spirits brand to use vacuum distillation, a technique that uses 90% less energy than a traditional pot still. This process is key to creating the fresh smooth spirits for which Sacred is renowned and reflects its commitment to sustainable and ethical work practices – Sacred is proud to be B Corp Certified and Soil Association approved.

The Sacred stills are unique as they are designed by Ian to his exact specification and the handblown glassware is manufactured especially for Sacred in York. In addition, each one of Ian’s carefully sourced library of botanicals is macerated in English wheat spirit for a minimum of 4-6 weeks to achieve the maximum extraction of flavour.

With this very specific criteria in mind, Sacred Spirits approached us to create a bespoke bottle that would reflect Sacred’s innovative production story.

 

Sacred Gin Squat Condenser

British Manufacturing for a British Distiller

We have worked with the Sacred Spirits team on several projects over the past eight years. The relationship started before our acquisition by Verallia when we were still known as Allied Glass and the team chose our Newton Bottle for the rebrand of Sacred Cardamom Gin and the launch of Sacred Old Tom Gin which scooped the award for World’s Best Old Tom Gin.

Understanding the brand’s premium nature we fully appreciated Sacred’s need for a high-quality glass bottle that would match the calibre of their spirits and would be immediately recognisable as their own. With our UK-based factories and expert glass engineers, we have been able to accommodate the very precise brief.

 

Sacred Gin Bespoke Glass Bottle

Setting the Bar Shelf High with Bespoke Design

Made in the UK, the elegant new bottle has a spiral from the base of the bottle to just under the label which is a nod to Sacred’s unique condenser coil. The shorter height allows the bottle to sit on most shelves comfortably and the GPI screw top finish gives a drip-free pour. As a finishing touch there is custom embossed messaging on the front, back and base of the bottle. Not only does the bottle look extremely stylish, but it is also 200g lighter than the previous bottle and contains over 50% recycled glass, helping to elevate the sustainable credentials of the bespoke bottle creation.

An Alternative Approach to Scalability

To ensure that this method of scalability is sustainable for their customer base, we have worked closely with the Sacred Spirits team to guarantee quick turnarounds when demand fluctuates. Using our UK-based manufacturing footprint we have been able to support not only the design of their sophisticated glass bottle but also provide flexible and strategic supply chain that offers cost effective growth.

    Crafted to reflect the rich flavour profiles of countries like Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, @WeAreTarsier distils versatile gins that elevate every cocktail 🍸

    We’re proud to have brought their vision to life through a truly distinctive bottle.

    Made with 58% recycled cullet, the black glass perfectly compliments the complex embossing covering the bottle.

    Paying homage to the gin’s Asian influence, the design features embossed bamboo and delicate leaves, the perfect habitat for the Philippine Tarsier - a small primate native to the region. As a remarkable detail, the creature’s eyes glow in the dark, bringing the design to life.

    This is packaging with purpose and character, and we’re thrilled to have created this for Tarsier.
