Introducing ‘Urbane Scotch Whisky’ by Samuel McWilliams and Max Ostler. A project for the D&AD Packaging brief 2012.

The concept behind the brand introduces Whisky to the city, an area that it is not normally associated with. This refreshes and modernises the image of Whisky using themes that bring the product into the 21st Century. The city is seen as a place were people and cultures mix, reflecting the brand’s universal target audience and also the unique blend of Whisky. The meaning of the name Urbane is ‘sophistication and elegance,’ a reflection of the Whisky product as a whole. The name also adds the suggestion that the product is closely linked to its new urban market.
