Luckily, the industry is producing some breathtaking examples to catch consumers\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Design-Packaging-2025-Masters\" width=\"650\" height=\"410\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Design-Packaging-2025-Masters.jpg\" data- class=\"size-full wp-image-902885 lazyload\"\/>These were the designs that impressed across aesthetics, functionality and sustainability<\/p>\n<p>Modern packaging and design are about so much more than aesthetics. Today\u2019s products should not only look beautiful, but stand out against competitors\u2019, be fit for purpose in homes and behind the bar, and, crucially, take sustainability seriously. It\u2019s no easy feat.<\/p>\n<p>And in The Design and Packaging Masters assessment, part of <a href=\"https:\/\/globalspiritsmasters.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Global Spirits Masters Competitions<\/a> (GSMC), all of these factors are taken into careful consideration.<\/p>\n<p>To put this year\u2019s entrants through their paces, six expert judges gathered at the Ibis London Bridge hotel \u2013 including Diogo Lopes, project co-ordinator \u2013 new product development at Amorim Top Series (this year\u2019s sponsor), who came all the way from Portugal to take part. He sat on a panel with Melita Kiely, editor-in-chief of The Spirits Business, and chair of The GSMC.<\/p>\n<p>David T Smith, spirits writer, consultant and co-founder of the Craft Distilling Expo, led a team that included Ruchira Neotia, drinks consultant and founder of Ruchira\u2019s Table. The third and final group included chair Anne Jones, director of Limestone &amp; Jones, and Matt Chambers, co-founder of Whisky For Everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The opening flight looked at the designs of vodka bottles \u2013\u00a0resulting in two Master medallists. First to secure the top award was Absolut Haring, an artist-inspired edition released this year. The judges said the bottle was a \u201cgood reflection of Haring\u201d. They also liked that it wasn\u2019t just about the label, and took a \u201cholistic approach to the bottle with embossing, and offered good support on the website via a QR code\u201d. \u201cA great piece of work,\u201d they concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Mash Vodka collected the second Master in this heat, praised for its \u201cvery clear and direct packaging\u201d. Kiely liked the \u201ctypography and pops of royal blue \u2013 this is classic, simple and feels luxurious, though understated\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Amorim Top Series\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Amorim-Top-Series-1.jpg\" data- class=\"size-full wp-image-770834 lazyload\"\/>Amorim Top Series was the official sponsor of The Design &amp; Packaging Masters 2025<\/p>\n<p>A trio of Gold medals and three Silvers were also awarded in this round. The Gold medallists included: Parneff Vodka with its \u201cnice striations on the bottle\u201d; Three Sixty Vodka, found to be \u201cthoughtful with great diamond dimpling on the glass\u201d; and \u201cinformative and eye-catching\u201d Faer Isles Subsea Vodka.<\/p>\n<p>The high standard set in the inaugural flight continued as the judges moved on to Gin. Here, four designs were deemed deserving of the top Master medal. No.3 London Dry Gin was \u201cvery well designed for practicality in both the on- and off-trade\u201d, and left lasting impression with its unique shape and attention to detail\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Master-winning Rockpool Gin was said to be \u201cvery beautiful\u201d. With its unusual shape and frosted patterns running across the glass, Lopes noted: \u201cIt brings to memory the coastline; a very nice closure, and a good investment from the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Great evolution\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Never Never Oyster Shell Gin also secured a Master medal. The judges noted how this was a \u201cgreat evolution for the brand\u201d with \u201clovely detail at the bottom and top; clean lines and colour scheme \u2013 and a lighter product, too\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Completing the Master scores in this flight was Thirlings Dry Gin. \u201cLove,\u201d exclaimed Kiely, who noted the high attention to detail. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot going on but it\u2019s clean at the same time. I like the off-white text on the label, and the white, black, and pops of copper work well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An impressive 12 Gold medals were also awarded in the flight, with winners including Cygnet Distillery, which collected three Gold awards for Cygnet 22, Cygnet 77, and Welsh Dry Gin. The judges described the teardrop shape of Cygnet 22 as having \u201cpurity, movement and impact\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>GinPlz also impressed, and was awarded a Gold medal for its \u201cbeautiful textured glass, which reminds me of the sea, and the copper on the stopper is beautiful. It works perfectly as a 500ml bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switching to dark spirits, in the Cognac flight a Gold medal was given to Croizet XO, which was described as \u201celegant and classy\u201d, with \u201cArt-Deco labelling\u201d. A Silver medal completed the flight.<\/p>\n<p>Eight Gold medallists made themselves known in the following Tequila round, including a medal for Casa Malka. The bottle was \u201cquite stunning and really balanced, modern and slick\u201d. The judges agreed the label and stopper \u201creally allow the unique bottle texture and shape to shine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Patr\u00f3n collected three Gold medals in this flight for its Reposado, A\u00f1ejo and Silver expressions. \u201cYou recognise the packaging a mile away. The cork top is iconic,\u201d said Lopes.<\/p>\n<p>Five Silver medals completed the Tequila round, with three awarded to Truluss\u00f3 Spirits Group products.<\/p>\n<p>The Mezcal round produced a Master medal in the form of Perro Verde Ensamble. Jones noted: \u201cBeautiful bottle. Really clever embossed design on the glass shows clearly through the liquid. There\u2019s an elegance to the shoulders and the angle of the sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Progressing to the Agave Spirits flight, and a quartet of Gold medals were awarded to Pistola products \u2013 including one for Pistola Joven. Kiely and Lopes liked the square shape of the bottles and the embossed details, noting each expression\u2019s \u201cmodern, slightly quirky\u201d character.<\/p>\n<p>In the rum round, Bacard\u00ed took home a strong medal haul \u2013 including two Master awards. The first Master accolade was presented to Bacard\u00ed Reserva Ocho, which Lopes described as \u201ciconic\u201d. He also pointed to the \u201cbat embossed on the bottle and engraved on the stopper\u201d, praising the attention to detail given to the design.<\/p>\n<p>The brand\u2019s stablemate, Bacard\u00ed Gold Rum, was also found deserving of a Master medal. Neotia noted the information about calories, units and a cocktail recipe: \u201cThis is a case study for appropriate and important information for labels. Fantastic functionality and excellent form that is unmistakably Bacard\u00ed. Cannot be improved.\u201d High praise indeed. Two more Bacard\u00ed products were part of five Gold medal winners in the Rum round, while one more was among eight Silver medallists. Additional Gold winners included Angostura Founders Reserve 1824 with an eye-catching \u201cbutterfly wrap around the top\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the tasting explored Scotch Whisky entrants, adding another Master medallist to the growing tally. The coveted award went to The Art of St Andrews 2025, created by Eden Mill St Andrews. \u201cGorgeous, classy and elegant. Effortless elegant and still with weight of character. Distinctive without being too complicated,\u201d Chambers wrote.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter Six\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Midleton-Very-Rare-Silent-Distillery-Chapter-Six-1-350x350.png\" data- class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-873807 lazyload\"\/>Standout packaging: Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter Six<\/p>\n<p>The round produced five Gold medal winners and a pair of Silvers, too. Gold award winners included Compass Box The Travelling Circus, said to be \u201ccreative and distinctive, with charismatic illustrations, energy and vibrancy\u201d, and Chivas Regal Crystalgold, which was found to have a \u201cclean, crisp design that reflects the clear spirit inside the bottle. The gift box looks smart, as does the gold stopper, and kudos for using real cork for the stopper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning to American Whiskey, a Master medal was awarded to First West. This was a very popular design with the judges. \u201cIt looks amazing, very nice details on the glass, and the label stands out,\u201d said Lopes. Kiely added: \u201cThis is gorgeous mix of tradition and old-worldy design, and modernity. The embossing down the sides, the shape of the bottle, the texture on the label, gold detailing \u2013\u00a0every detail has been thought through. This is how you do design exceptionally well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Orang Tua picked up a Gold medal for \u201cbold and yummy\u201d Black Jack in this flight, as did \u201ctraditional, right on brand\u201d Yellowstone Recollection. A Silver closed the round.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish Whiskey entrants added to the Master medal count, with top two awards for Irish Distillers-made designs. The first went to Midleton Very Rare 2025 Vintage Release. The Master medallist secured the award for its \u201cneutral colour palate on the box, elegant, beautiful, and luxurious appearance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter Six also took home the top medal. The Master winner delivered a \u201ctimeless, elegant design and exquisite woodwork\u201d, noted Smith. \u201cFlawless, thoughtful. Every element of the design has been thought through and opening it is a real experience without pretension, it\u2019s genuine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four Gold medals and one Silver also shone in this round.<\/p>\n<p>Green Spot 100 Year Anniversary 10 Years Old was one of the Gold recipients, found to be \u201celegant and enjoyable with the green paintbrush strong across the bottle\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Startling, amusing and very, very clever\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the World Whisky Category, Hong Kong Whisky was one of three Gold medallists. This design was described as \u201cstartling, amusing and very, very clever \u2013\u00a0a total standout on any shelf and one that encourages multiple collection buys and festive versions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Keris Single Malt Whisky also walked away with a Gold medal, with the judges noting how the bottle and box had \u201ccontinuity\u201d of design, and the box was impressively sturdy as a secondary packaging option.<\/p>\n<p>Indri Diwali Collector\u2019s Edition 2025 also took home a Gold medal, praised for its \u201cbeautiful box, with artwork depicting India, and great explanations on the packaging about the inspiration behind the whisky\u201d. Three Silver medals wrapped up the flight.<\/p>\n<p>In the Liqueurs heat, Lucas Bols bagged a Master medal for Bols Blue 1575, which had \u201cgreat form and thoughtful design for functionality\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the Speciality Spirits round, the penultimate round of the day, Metaxa Angels\u2019 Treasure was bestowed with a Gold medal, and liked for its \u201cgood information on the packs\u201d and being \u201clight yet luxurious\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Perro-Verde-Ensamble-mezcal\" width=\"650\" height=\"410\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Perro-Verde-Ensamble-mezcal.jpg\" data- class=\"size-full wp-image-902892 lazyload\"\/>Best in Class 2025: Perro Verde Ensambe<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, in the Tonic &amp; Mixer round, a Gold medal was handed to Le Tribute Pink Grapefruit Soda. The judges found this to be \u201cvery stylish, not like anything seen in the mixer category before. Stunning vertical ribbed design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whittling down the Master medallists to determine a Taste Master winner is tricky enough during the blind-tasting editions of The GSMC. However, selecting The Design &amp; Packaging Best In Class winner from the Master medallists was arguably an even harder task. After great deliberation, Perro Verde Ensamble was chosen as the Best In Class 2025 recipient, celebrated for bringing a beautifully modern, minimalistic, unique design to the mezcal category.<\/p>\n<p>But the judges also wanted to give a Special Commendation to Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Chapter Six. While the packaging has clearly benefitted from a lot of investment, the judges could see how each element had been carefully chosen, how it reflected the quality and rarity of the liquid inside the bottle, and, ultimately, looked exquisite.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, great spirits packaging isn\u2019t about how much a brand spends, but how wisely it invests in its identity. Thoughtful choices, clever detailing and storytelling can elevate even simple designs, proving award-winning designs don\u2019t have to cost the earth.<\/p>\n<tr style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\n<td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Vodka<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\n<td>Company<\/td>\n<td>Product<\/td>\n<td>Medal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Absolut Group \u2013 Pernod Ricard<\/td>\n<td>Absolut Haring<\/td>\n<td>Master<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Royal Mash Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Royal Mash Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Master<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Les Producteurs R\u00e9unis<\/td>\n<td>Parneff Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schwarze und Schlichte<\/td>\n<td>Three Sixty Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Faer Isles Distillery<\/td>\n<td>Faer Isles Subsea Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Gold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spy X<\/td>\n<td>Spy X Ultra Luxury Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Silver<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CF Napa Brand Design<\/td>\n<td>Kind Earth<\/td>\n<td>Silver<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Piccadily Agro Industries<\/td>\n<td>Cashmir Vodka<\/td>\n<td>Silver<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<tr style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\n<td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Gin<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\n<td>Company<\/td>\n<td>Product<\/td>\n<td>Medal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Berry Bros. &amp;
