Content like this is right up my alley. I was a designer for years and years, so bottle design is a big deal for me-though I try my hardest not to go into the weeds during the ‘design’ part of my reviews for fear of boring people. This video lies somewhere between Noice and Godlike for me. If I could ever figure out how people do those reaction vids, I’d do one for this one in a Montreal Minute.

As someone who appreciates good design, accessibility and UX, I'm loving the fun way you guys highlight these topics. Personally, I think design is an aspect too often underrated and overlooked by whisky enthusiasts. Design is an integral part of a distillery's history, so I think the hard work of the people designing the brand should not go unnoticed and appreciated, whether we like them or not.

So, plz more respect to the Scotland cows! Now, back home, besides the stuffed cow, I have postcards, fridge magnetos, cookie metal box and pens with the cow on them. I forgot to mention, at Tomatin Distillery they have a commemorative big size cow at the Visitors Centre patio.

Glenfarclas needs a design reboot. The new Glen Scotia gives me Captain Morgan rum-vibes. Not sure it’s that great. Bruichladdich entire range is god-tier: Laddie is marmite, but nothing else like it, PC range is timeless and already a classic, Octamore is a sleek and aspirational piece of 007 paraphernalia.

If the orange on the talisker would've been black, it would be a beautiful bottle. The addition of the coastline is so creative, meshes well with the ocean photo too -the orange makes it too busy. Original Talisker bottle was nothing special. Craigellachie's styling is lovely and should remain like that

GlenAllachie looks like a sign welcoming you to the Jungle Cruise at Disney World. Benromach's new design looks like an oil can from the 1930's. Ardnamurchan is the worst sin in design where function is completely abandoned for form. What's the point of a label so abstracted that it no longer fulfills the function of a label?

Fantastic video and I enjoyed the great chemistry you both had together. I am very opinionated when it comes to packaging design, labelling and artwork and always include a section on this in my whisky reviews. I think it’s really important to get this right. In my opinion, the design of official bottlings should stand out on the shelf, should transmit the quality and status of Single Malt and clearly communicate information about the product in refined, understated way. With Independent bottlings, you can afford to be more adventurous but on the other hand, there should be more emphasise put on technical whisky data. I like 19th century type tinted glass. It communicates tradition and quality and has the added advantage of hiding the colour of natural coloured whisky, so as not to put the casual whisky drinker off by a pale colour. However, a totally opaque bottle like Bruichladdich or Arran Machrie Moor is simply annoying as you cannot tell the bottle level. *Glenmorangie* Well, I’m showing my age here but I remember with great fondness the old Sepia brown Edwardian style labels with artwork, halfway between drawing and photo. For me it was a timeless classic. When Glenmorangie was bought up by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, they committed heresy by getting rid of the old design and replacing it with a garish bright shiny orange packaging that looks like a party box of fizzy wine. The new rebranding is for me, going from bad to worse. It makes the product look cheap. The GLEN / MO / RAN / GIE transmits the message “Hay, don’t take us seriously, we’re a whisky only suitable for cocktails and parties”. A complete train wreck! *Talisker* Again, I remember the old packaging from the 1990s. Old ship map Beige colour with a map of Skye. It was instantly recognisable and communicated “We are an island Malt”. I liked it. When the blue rebranding came along with the sea spray and rocks on the box , I saw this as kitschy. The beige label hadn’t been changed that much and I appreciated the continuity. I think the Talisker label is traditional but fails to distinguish it as a product in its right. You have to understand that when they designed this back in the 1980s and 90s, Talisker was part of a collection of Single Malts called the “Classic Malts Of Scotland”. The label designs of all six malts were designed to blend in with each other with just a slight change in font or bottle design to create a unique character in order to distinguish each bottle from one another. As a collection it worked well. The other malts in the collection, ie Glenkinchie, Oban, Lagavulin (core range), Cragganmore and Dalwhinnie look pretty much what they looked like in the 1990s. (Lagavulin lost its paper TAX label). Only Talisker has had a radical design change. I agree with your assessment. Whatever the old label design had going for it, that is, traditional, oldy-worldy, it has destroyed completely. Yes, it stands out from its former brothers but for the worse. The label looks like a bottle of Orange Squash, and that black map on top looks like someone squashed a fly on the label. *Arran* Old Arran to New Arran. Couldn’t agree more. The original design was amateurish. The new one is superb. I love the shape of the bottle, the beautiful cork stopper and the label design. It says “Quality”! *Glen Scotia* In the early 2000s there was a trend to give bottles a modern technology looking “wrap around” plastic label like Coca Cola. I am not a fan! I found the garish colours made the product look like a cheap Vodka or Cocktail mix. The new artwork is a great improvement but for me, has gone too far the other way, trying too hard to look “traditional”. The postage stamp style picture is simply too much. *Craigellachie* A wonderful over the top old Victorian poster style. May they never ever change it or at least, only subtlety. *GlenAllachie* It looks like someone has made the name out of bits of twigs. It is not an elegant looking label design but at least it succeeds in standing out on the shelf, which is more than can be said for 90% of the others. The trend today is far too generic. *Raasay* I am in two minds about this one. I love its unique stand out on the shelf design. I love the label, which is in one at the same time, highly informative and stylish. I do think though that the bottle design is a bit over the top and seems to suggest that they have spent far too much on the bottle design to try and make up for the fact that the whisky is poor. Nothing could be further from the truth though. Raasay Single Malt Whisky is lovely stuff with its own unique character. *Highland Park* Here is a design which perfectly complements the product it holds. It’s style over substance, hype over fact, artificial over genuine. Well Done everyone at Edrington Group.

First I thought it’d be Waldorf and Statler ranting endlessly about their points of view nobody shares and complaining about change in general. But you got it right, looking at the matter with humour and pointing out the nonsensical whining about the loss of terrible designs like old Benromach or Arran. Fun video! One thought, nobody ever mentions that: Glenmorangie nowadays just looks like a fancy pantsy product made by a french luxury brand, what is very fitting, as it is exactly that. I don‘t really care when LVMH puts their flavour onto bottles. At least they didn’t change a lot to the worse inside. A lot of the Glenmorangie Whiskies are still top notch. Good use of casks, mostly age stated, good abv and not ridiculously overpriced. As long as they keep going like that I’ll forgive them a lot.

They'd always make sure to let their deceased warriors hold a weapon in one hand and a bottle of highland park in the other while on their way to the halls of the Aesir and Valhalla to drink with the gods and heroes of old.

*Benromach Vs BenRiach* Here’s where I radically disagree with you. The old packaging of both BenRiach (notice Capital “R”) which was independently owned by Billy Walker, and Benromach, owned by Gordon and McPhail, Independent Bottlers, were very distinct and both stood out on the shelves. This was a good thing not only for sales, but also because it is easy for punters to get confused between Benromach and BenRiach, seeing as they have very similar names and geographically quite near each other in the northern Speyside region. Benriach, who were bought by Brown Forman of Jack Daniels fame, decided to change the packaging to reflect the new ownership. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Benromach decided to revamp their packaging as well. Now, I cannot divulge my sources as how I obtained these transcripts but I thought it would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall of both marketing departments at Benromach and BenRiach. *Transcript of meeting between Benromach marketing and Bottle designers* Marketing guy: “OK guys, we have one of the most distinctive packages and bottles on the market. Our brass-coloured boxes and handwritten style Benromach name stands out on the shelf and is instantly recognisable from the other side of the shop. The package artwork is absolutely unique and looks like someone has personally added in a white marker pen, little details about the whisky, transmitting an image that this is a high quality, small batch, craft artisan product. Now, the packaging has the added benefit of being completely different to BenRiach distillery, which is often confused with us due to its similar name and geographical proximity. So, what we need for the revamp packaging is first of all, a label that has no unique symbol whatsoever, artwork or anything which makes it stand out on the shelf or be identified as a specific brand. In this way, all the potential buyers will see is our generic name “Benromach” in plane red on a plain beige background, so that it looks more like a Supermarket own brand label of floor cleaner. Bottle Designer: “Oh, I get it. You want a branding and label so utterly bland, generic and forgettable, that everyone will instantly recognise it as Benromach! Reverse Psychology. Brilliant! I believe we have a design which was rejected by Sainsbury’s for being even too generic for them. It will be perfect. I’ll get on to that right away. Just checking, are you sure you don't want any symbols, like a deer's head, thistle, a barrel, a Scottish flag, tartan...?" Marketing guy: ”What did I say? The campaign keywords are Bland, plain, ubiquitous, faceless and utterly forgettable... Got it?" *Transcript of meeting between Benriach marketing and Bottle designers* Marketing guy: So let’s recap. BENRIACH is instantly recognisable by two distinct things. 1. The name is written in a very distinctive way, ie BenRiach, which not only makes it stands out but further differentiates it from the similar sounding Benromach, just down the road from us. 2. Our bottle shape is absolutely unique, oldy-worldy and instantly identified from afar. So, what we need for the revamp packaging is first of all, a label that has no unique symbol whatsoever, artwork or anything which makes it stand out on the shelf or be identified as a specific brand. In this way, all the potential buyers will see is our generic name “Benriach”, (yes remove the Capital “R”), in black letters on a plain beige background, so that it looks more like a Supermarket own brand label. The campaign keywords are Bland, plain, ubiquitous, faceless and utterly forgettable. Got it?" Conclusion: In my opinion, this is complete train wreck of a marketing campaign. What were they thinking?

If there was a law that applied globally, whereby all whiskey bottles had to be exactly the same in design and the only thing that was different about them was what was written on them (which had to be in the same font, colour, style, size etc) to describe the contents of the bottle, would we collect as much whiskey as we do now?

The new Arran bottle looks like a cider vinegar bottle.... YES! on the too tall Glen Scotia bottles. Penderyn is even worse at it.... I think that the old Benromach was trying to be too 'trendy', while the new look leans into 'traditional' (the heroic Soviet look), so I think they changed from trying to attract young trendoids to nerds who really care about flavor.... I find the Port Charlotte bottle makes it awkward to pour; I think the neck should be a mite longer, as per Bunnahabhain's bottles... I much prefer Douglas Laing's label offerings rather than Compass Box; the steampunk vibe works very well. Scarabus is 'da best'..... HP did that! I got into HP Einar, when they had a line of expressions named after viking leaders of Orkney, they axed it back in 2017. The whisky was better back then, too. Then, they just trashed it all...for what, I'm not sure.

Glen Allachie has to by the nr 1 ugliest bottle around. That Papyrus like font, the faux velvet/rock pattern background 😨

I can not fathom who anyone can rate Glenmorangies new design as anything but "WHY, WHY, WHY!" It looks cheap and crass. Just absolutely horrendous😢

Guys, such a good idea for a video and then you talk about bottle designs only? What about the spirit?! This should have been: Ranking

Sunglasses inside is never a good look. Ps the new Arran bottle should be in meh. Very bland.

I agree. Sadly I suffered from Bells Palsy which has caused both light sensitivity and issues with my left eye. Think the shades are less distracting than an ever sagging eye 😂. Was you more a fan of the old style Arran? Cheers.

It certainly ain't a "God Tier" look 🤣. After having Bells Palsy, they have become really helpful with my eye issues so have settled on this style. Cheers.
