Verallia Announces Golden Ticket Winner

Verallia (formerly Allied Glass) are delighted to announce the winner of its 2021 Golden Ticket Competition, the fantastic team at the Sliabh Liag Distillery, creators of some of the finest Irish whiskies, gin and vodka.

Launched at the Craft Distilling Expo in London last October, Verallia’s Golden Ticket Competition offers the lucky winner the opportunity to create their own bespoke bottle.  This is a truly amazing prize where the successful applicant is given the opportunity to work with one of the Verallia team’s award-winning designers to go from the initial concept stage, developing a design which perfectly suits the brand to the manufacture stage of beautiful glass bottles with the project costs, including a set of mould equipment, being completely free of charge.

Nolan Kane, Verallia’s Head of Emerging Brands, says:

“Craft distillers from all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, have supported our Golden Ticket Competition with over 150 tickets having been completed and returned.  This is amazing and I would like to thank all those who entered.”

The winner was drawn in December by Verallia’s CEO, Alan Henderson, who said:

“As the craft distilling industry continues to take the UK by storm with gins, rums, vodkas and whiskies being created by creative entrepreneurs, Verallia has become a trusted supplier to this diverse and energetic industry thanks to our creative design which is supported by a commitment to flexible manufacturing, inspirational decoration and comprehensive customer support   It is therefore a very exciting time for craft distilling and Allied Glass and we very much look forward to working with Rory Steel and his team, winners of our 2021 Golden Ticket competition.”

We cannot wait to see what the team come up with when working with Sliabh Liag Distillery. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on the process and of course, the final bottle once production commences!

If you would be interested in working with the Verallia team yourself, please don’t hesitate to contact our team!

Happy International Whisky Day! 🥃

A day to celebrate the craft of distilling one of the world’s most beloved spirits. Whisky has truly carved a place for itself as a staple in the spirit sector. The base of iconic cocktails, a strong contender when drank alone, this spirit is one of the greats.

With a strong Yorkshire heritage @WhittakersDistillery creates high-quality, artisanal whisky, bottling the abundant landscape found in the region. They’ve created the first ever single malt produced in the Yorkshire Dales.

For their unique, quality spirit, they partnered with us to deliver their high-end glass packaging. A classic shape, beautifully showcasing their unique whisky. The bottle features the emblem, ‘W’ embossed on the neck, as well as ‘Whittaker’ embossed around the base of the bottle.

Celebrating an exquisite spirit, and a Yorkshire icon, cheers to International Whisky Day! 🥃

Pioneers in the spirit sector, @BurntFaith is the UK’s first brandy house. Inspired by passion shown in the Cognac region of France, they sought to unlock the real potential of brandy.

Housed in their bespoke bottle, their latest collaboration with the @EastLondonLiquor Company and @TheOrchardProject not only looks great, but is for a great cause.

In the spirit of keeping the legacy alive, Burnt Faith will be donating all the proceeds from this brandy to @TheOrchardProject, dedicated to restoring community orchards.

Making Aberdeenshire history, @EskerSpirits is the first craft distillery in the region.

They are specialists in enhancing classic spirits with fruit flavours, perfect for cocktails and pairing beautifully with mixers. To give their spirits a unique edge, they infuse silver birch sap to deliver a distinctive, silky texture.

Esker Spirits partnered with Verallia for their standout packaging, choosing a supplier who shares their passion for sustainability. Their spirit is showcased in our ‘Patet’ bottle from our ECOVA range, and finished with a frosted spray and white ‘ESKER’ print they have made the bottle their own.

Tall, slender, and sustainable, the Patet is a truly elegant glass bottle. Composed of over 50% cullet and weighing just 500g, the Patet reflects commitment to sustainability.

An excellent choice for an opulent spirit!
