The Bottle Design of
Merser & Co Double Barrel
The Product Brief
WE TOOK AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT CREATED BY STRANGER&STRANGER AND DEVELOPED THE STRUCTURE INTO A PRODUCTION-READY GLASS PACK.
The prominent Hayman family has a long history in the London rum trade, sourcing stock from the West Indian docks for many generations. Their wish to bring the long-lost craft of rum blending back to London was met with a need to find a bottle fine enough to reflect this venture.
For this project we used innovative decoration techniques such as glass debossing and embossing as well as a unique surface pattern.
Textured glass and embossing around the bottle’s neck are two special decorative touches that work perfectly together for a premium finish.

Traditionally in London, local patrons found their way to merchant houses and pubs by way of signs depicting animals or other recognisable objects.
An authentic feature on this bottle pays homage to an old tradition using an intricate stamp, The Post & Hound, at its base.

At the lower neck, we have embossed C.MERSER & CO into the glass, a stylish feature which maximises branding. Using innovative production methods we achieved a hand crafted feel to the bottle which compliments an asymmetrical finish.
