Taking a bottle of whisky out of its carton and holding it in your hand should be an excitingly tactile experience – a genuine moment of discovery!
Grain to Glass
We bottle single malt whisky under our own Goldfinch brand, for partners such as Mey Selections, and for private clients. From bottle shape to label design, we carefully consider every aspect of presentation, ensuring our packaging is as exceptional as our whisky and executed with the same creative passion.
DESIGN PROCESS
1
The Creative Team
We work with highly skilled designers including Elmbank Creative, typographers such as Duncan Rogers, and photographers such as Wes Kingston. Along with a team of talented writers, illustrators and artists, they craft and finesse exciting concepts with meticulous attention to detail.

Glass
From Scotland to Italy, we source beautiful and unusual glassware and can create bespoke solutions with Murano-trained glass makers, Glass Storm, based in the Highlands. Our first release for Mey Selections is presented in a bottle called ‘Douglas’ – traditional, elegant and strong, it perfectly reflects the ethos of the brand.

Stoppers & Bottles
From traditional natural cork to innovative glass stoppers, we delight in being adventurous and aim to work primarily with Scottish suppliers, nurturing close connections with box designers and makers who work with a variety of woods and metals for a truly bespoke finish.

Labels & Cartons
By working with premium paper manufacturers such as GF Smith and Fasson, we have some of the world’s most beautiful papers at our finger tips, as well as expert advice on coated, uncoated and textured stocks, perfect for prestige print finishes and hand-numbering.

Only highly experienced print specialists can rise to the challenge of innovative and complex solutions. From spot colours and UV varnishes to metallic foiling, embossing, and die-cutting, every label and carton is finished to the same exceptional standard as the whisky it presents.

Bottling & Finishing
The team at our bottling facility carefully finishes each of our products. This includes hand numbering labels, carrying out quality control and packing securely, ready for shipment to whisky lovers around the world.
