# Explorer-Inspired Gin 'The Archaeologist Gin' Features Vintage Motorcycle Parts Inside the Bottle By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-08-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-archaeologist-gin References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/article/the-archaeologist-gin/) & [the-archaeologist](http://www.the-archaeologist.com/) To express the idea that 'The Archaeologist Gin' features exceptional craftsmanship, its creators have placed parts of actual motorcycles inside the bottle. The Archaeologist aims to preserve the essence of old motorcycle parts and have decided to do so through its gin. The parts are cleaned and sealed with a tin alloy before they are placed inside the bottle, generating a strong novelty connection to this product. To further extend this thought, the bottle is packaged in cardboard printed on from a Heidelberg Tiegel printing press from 1931. With three varieties of gin, each is distinguished by the unique part placed inside the bottle. The Archaeologist Gin uses either 1939 Harley-Davidson Flatheads, 1947 screw-nuts from Chile or 1962 Panhead rocker arms from South Korea. To find these pieces, the founders had to look high and low all over the world to find enough parts to put the gin into production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage-inspired Products:** Opportunity to create unique products by incorporating vintage or historical items. - **Novelty Packaging:** Opportunity to create packaging that connects with consumers through unique materials and production methods. - **Craftsmanship & Heritage:** Opportunity to showcase exceptional craftsmanship by incorporating historical or unique materials into products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunity to create unique alcoholic beverage products by incorporating historical or vintage items. - **Packaging:** Opportunity for packaging companies to offer specialized packaging materials and production methods that connect with consumers. - **Antique/motorcycle Collectibles:** Opportunity for antique and motorcycle collectible companies to expand their offerings by partnering with product manufacturers for unique collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exploratory Small-Batch Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wildfire-expedition.md) - [Futuristic Luxury Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyld-gin.md) - [Creative Collectible Spirits Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-spirits-bottle.md) - [Model Car Gin Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-gin-gin-jaaag.md) - [Playful Garden-Inspired Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-watering-can.md) - [Garden-Sourced Botanical Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revivalist-garden-gin.md) - [Folklore-Inspired Spirit Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathtub-gin-x-tart-london-limited-edition.md) - [Alcohol Brand Rebrands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edinburgh-gin-redesign.md) - [One-Tree Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-vintage.md)
