The Octave

"The Octave is a new limited edition range of Scotch Whisky produced by Duncan Taylor & Co, a small, rural independent bottler located in north east Scotland. The company specializes in rare and unique Scotch Whiskies and produce single-cask runs ranging from just 70-300 bottles. Because of the limited volume, product packaging must be very cost effective, digitally printed labels on standard bottles/capsules, and artwork done by an in-house designer.

An octave cask is one-eighth the size of a standard hogshead casks, offering an affordable opportunity for private cask ownership. Plus, with fewer bottles (only 70 per cask) the spirit is very exclusive. Single Malt Scotch Whisky has gone through a secondary maturation in ex Sherry casks, and has not been chill-filtered, coloured, or diluted with water -- it remains completely natural straight from the cask."

Love the look, not overdone

Perfect balancing of the details with the open, type-driven design. Wouldn't have guessed the budgetary constraints. Well done!
