The overall inspiration for the gin and label come from the prohibition period. In honor of prohibition, this bottle pays tribute to the [unique distribution practices of gin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speakeasy-soulmates-set). During the alcohol ban, a speakeasy would sell tickets for consumers to see a blind tiger in the back room of a bar where they would receive a complimentary gin cocktail. Today, the Blind Tiger Gin is made in the back room of a secluded distillery in Western Belgium. The label and creative process honor the historical past of gin. This particular spirit is hand-crafted with notes of [highly unusual botanicals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oola-distillery) such as malted barley and cubeb pepper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Prohibition-themed Packaging:** Opportunity for distilleries to create unique packaging designs inspired by the prohibition period, capturing consumer attention and telling a compelling story. - **Craft Distillery Tourism:** Craft distilleries can capitalize on the interest in traditional production methods by offering tours and experiences that showcase the history and craftsmanship behind their spirits. - **Unconventional Botanical Blends:** Opportunity for distillers to experiment with unusual botanical ingredients in their gin formulations, offering consumers unique and flavorful experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Distilleries can differentiate themselves and attract consumers by leveraging innovative packaging designs and incorporating historical narratives into their brand storytelling. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Craft distilleries can partner with tourism organizations to create immersive experiences that capitalize on the demand for authentic, history-focused attractions. - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and bars can feature craft gins with unconventional botanical blends on their menus, catering to adventurous consumers seeking unique taste experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Collectible Spirits Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-spirits-bottle.md) - [Oil Can-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illva-saronno.md) - [Iconic Gin Bottle Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-3-london-dry-gin.md) - [Dog-Inspired Wheat Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-pickles-gin.md) - [Mutant Superhero Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-gin-bottle.md) - [Futuristic Luxury Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyld-gin.md) - [Elegant Bottle Re-Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glendalough-distillery.md) - [Antihero-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviation-american-gin.md) - [Flavorful Gin Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginuary.md)
