In a glitzy ceremony celebrating the 20th anniversary of the show, Hunter Luxury’s work on the Hendrick’s gin Whimsical Watering Can – in collaboration with brand owner William Grant & Sons and Boundless Brand Design – won the coveted Limited Edition Pack of the Year prize and was Highly Commended in the Best International Pack category. Meanwhile, Hunter Luxury’s collaboration with whisky specialist Chivas Brothers and design agency JDO Global for The Glenlivet brand on a stunning anodised aluminium display case finished with brushed copper for its 40-year-old expression was also Highly Commended in the Luxury Pack of the Year category. In a competitive field, the creative flair and technical expertise required to produce the Whimsical Watering Can wowed the judging panel enough to secure the award. An exclusive travel retail set, the pack captured imaginations and pushed boundaries by utilising an ornate, all-metal, fully functional watering can as secondary packaging. The watering can works as both a quirky cocktail decanter, novel display piece, or as an actual watering can that consumers can use to grow their own botanicals. The win is the latest in a string of successes for the project, after it picked up prizes at the Pentawards, the International Spirits Challenge Awards, and the Frontier Awards earlier this year. Paul Hamilton, Head of Sales and Marketing at Hunter Luxury, was delighted with his team’s latest awards recognition, saying, “I’m so proud of the creative talents of our team and our partners at Boundless. To develop this outlandish vision and refine it into an impactful, market-ready packaging solution is a remarkable achievement from everyone involved. I want to thank the team at Boundless for their collaboration and their trust in our ability to bring their creative vision to life.” www.hunterluxury.com 8
