Custom labelled whiskey

Postby briandquinn » Tue May 01, 2012 9:46 am

Hi All,
I'm trying to track down somewhere I could get around 10 bottles of Irish whiskey with a custom label?

I've used Master of Malts blending service before but they only do scotch, and I know the Celtic Whiskey Shop can do the standard Tyrconnell with a custom label but I'm looking for something a bit more interesting.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian

I'm not sure where you'd get as little as 10 labels done. Places like MS Labels and Avery Labels are set up to do much larger orders.

You could do one with a good printer, I suppose.

I'm looking to get something similar done.

As suggested possibly your best bet is to do it your self. Regular desk Printers are quite good these days but I'm sure if you contact someone like snap with a design they might do the printing for you if you can supply the blank labels.

You should be able to pick up blank labels online or even try some large local stationary store.

Bladnoch do a lot of different single casks and just do simple mat labels with text. But I can't see why you could not frame a label or add a picture.

I've used http://www.uprinting.com/standard-label-printing.html with excellent results, but will only ship to a US address!

Thanks for the ideas, but I was hoping to find a supplier of the whiskey + custom label. I'm not keen on re-labeling off-the-shelf bottles, was looking for something more unique.


Thanks, B.

Hi Brian,

I fear you will have no hope if it is Irish you are looking for, in regards to the criteria you have mentioned above.

There really are no distilleries that will do that for you as it is way too much trouble.
Your only hope would be to contact some one like

http://www.whiskybroker.co.uk

and hope he might obligue on a one off scotch bottling as he does do part casks but it will be scotch. But whether he will do just 10 bottles is another story.

Here's a little bit of parallel thinking for you which may or may not work:

When I've been to whisky fairs that Hart Brothers have attended, they have sometimes offered their own Festival bottlings with custom reverse labels. Basically, they sometimes have a whisky on offer with their standard front label and will print whatever name or (certain amount of) text on the reverse label.

Who knows if you ask them they may, or may not be open to suggestions. Maybe they even have an Irish whiskey ... or maybe not.

I was thinking of the same, get your own custom label and put it on the reverse of a bottle of your choice.

Personally for 10 bottles I would relabel/overlabel some existing whiskey,

For a different touch why not get a bottle engraved
