J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery's craft your bottle program, available online and in person at the Distillery in Kentucky, provides a fun way to create customized whiskey, including everything from the bottle shape and the label to the wax color.
Customized packaging brings a special touch to year-round gifting, and with Halloween spending projected to be at an all-time high this year, this custom bourbon bottle program offers a playful excuse for people to go all out with spooky, themed designs that make the season even more fun and festive. "We really get into the Halloween spirit here at J. Mattingly 1845, and have seen some creative plays on words for labels, and wax bottle toppers that range from what you'd think of as traditional Halloween colors of orange and black, to even tri-color wax that looks like candy corn," said Cameron Mattingly, Master Blender and VP of Production.
