The Dalmore | Nekhbet Whisky

In this curator’s insight, we take a look at Nekhbet Whisky designed by Venore Creative

NEKHBET stands out as a bold and captivating masterpiece that goes beyond the typical whisky bottle design. What immediately grabs attention is the large metallic skull. This design choice has one motive – symbolic. The skull, with its sharp lines and intricate details, speaks of strength, darkness, and power—a message that reflects the spirit of the whisky itself. By encasing the bottle, the skull transforms the packaging into something that feels almost protective, like a suit of armor guarding a noble treasure.

The use of metal against the golden hue of the whisky is a brilliant contrast. It amplifies the sense of luxury while creating a visual tension between warmth and coldness, between the smooth liquid and the hard, structured skull. This juxtaposition makes the bottle feel alive, as if it holds a fierce, unyielding character within.

Another element worth noting is how tactile the design is. You can almost feel the skull’s texture just by looking at it—sharp yet refined. It’s a piece of art in itself, not just something to be admired but interacted with, making it perfect for collectors who appreciate both form and function.
