Here's Cheers


Malted whiskey, honey and Celtic spices is a taste that sure entices. A brew that will get you leggless and smashed to the hilt. So here's cheers to yur and here's lookin' Up.Yur.Kilt. An ancient recipe from the Scottish Keith clan. Produced entirely in Scotland, on the Muir of Fowlis, Aberdeen;in the Scottish Highlands. A very strong drop to warm you to your toes and give you a glowing nose. I tried to keep in with the clan colours but just overexarated the saturation. The pine crest on top of both bottle and packaging is of the Keith clan and translates to Truth Conquers. The little white rose is the clan badge, which is worn on the headwear or incorporated into the kiltwear and the sporran. I was going to make the box as a sporran, but after doing the bottle labels, found I need to flow it to the box without too much busyness or discontinuity. Kilts were first recorded to be worn from about the 13th century. Up until the 16th century, the kilt was actually made from about 3-4 yards of tartan folded in two. The smallest half was gathered or pleated at the waist and held together with a belt or leather strap. The larger half was then folded into a bag and then folded over the head,(forming a sort of hood), and folded around the shoulders and into the waistbelt. I've found out many interesting things doing this brief and learnt a lot about glue.
