ABOUT

Kilmartin Glen Sprints launched their first Gin in early 2022. After a year of research, production & development, their first flagship product was released to the market. Their gin is enriched with hand-foraged botanicals from around the fascinating and mysterious Glen. Kilmartin Glen is one of Scotland’s richest prehistoric landscapes. It was of profound significance to its people, spanning 5000 years. At its heart is the Village of Kilmartin, where the brand was born.

My Creative took influence from the beautiful & simple rock carvings left by the first people to populate and thrive in Kilmartin. Their creativity and craft can still be seen today, although the original significance of these marks remains a mystery and is open to interpretation. These beginnings were a perfect starting point to tell our story. We wanted to reimagine this culture and its symbolism in a modern & refined way. To reflect the quality of the Gin and the historical area the brand would live beside.

Developing the brand & packaging with natural colours and materials like hessian, wicker, earthenware and bronze. Elements that coexisted with this cultural heritage. We juxtaposed this with a clean glass base and simple typography. The goal was to create not just a beautiful Gin but a modern object that could be reused in a functional way. Giving the bottle a second life.
