In honor of Yellowstone Whiskey being reintroduced 105 years after its emergence into the consumer industry, David Cole Creative designed a tribute packaging. The packaging itself utilizes the original illustrations of Steven Nobel.
Each of the 6,000 limited edition whiskey bottles are labeled and then placed into a cylindrical canister, which is entirely wrapped in a black label to match the bottle.
The labels are created with a heavy emphasis on the brand’s name. The words "Yellowstone Whiskey" are written on an angle on the front of the bottle with large gilded letters. The gold lettering is consistent throughout the entire packaging, which is reflective of the golden-colored whiskey inside. The image of a vintage bar mirror that is sketched onto each label is reflective of the original bottle design. In addition, each bottle is numbered and signed by master Distiller Stephen Beam.
