These intricately detailed whiskey labels have been exclusively designed by artist David Smith. The commemorative label was commissioned by the popular Irish whiskey brand to mark St. Patrick’s Day 2013.
Smith, who usually works in the medium of glass design, outdid himself with his beautifully detailed, art nouveau design. The talented artist said he wanted to create an image reminiscent of the art common to mirrors in traditional Irish pubs. The stunning Celtic label design encourages people to "embrace their Irish spirit" in celebration of St Patty’s Day. By commissioning artists to work with their brand, companies can get an authentic piece of branding which compliments their aesthetic and values perfectly. This inherently Irish design is sure to be displayed in bars and homes long after its contents are gone.
