Ignore the text on White Pike Whiskey packaging and what would you assume is inside of it? Mother Design chose this [wine bottle type of container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krink-x-barossa-ink-limited-edition-shiraz) to make the spirit appear more like a vodka product than a malted grain recipe. The reason for this was to communicate the surprising strength of the alcoholic beverage as a mixer with other sorts of drinks.

The designers strove to cut the crap with a no-BS approach to the product's brand identity, beginning with a [transparent glass vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jgermeister-and-pantone) that then seems to have been dipped in a can of black paint. The visual impact packs a punch and makes the written label of White Pike Whiskey packaging stand out even more.
