The story of West Kentucky Distilling Co. began with a vision to capture the essence of the region’s rugged landscapes, rich history, and the timeless spirit of the Kentucky mountains.
The distillery’s founders, a group of friends who shared a deep love for their Kentucky home, embarked on a mission to create a whiskey and vodka that would not only stand the test of time but also pay homage to the heritage and heritage of the region.
Inspiration came from the old-school Victorian era, a time of elegance & refinement. Crafting unique, high-quality spirits was mirrored in the design of their labels.
Project goal: To create branding & packaging design that would transport consumers back in time to a bygone era, adorned with intricate Victorian-style artwork and attention to detail. Custom lettering type completed the look, adding an air of sophistication and history to every bottle.
