Design Story
The Singleton Paragon of Time expressions are the oldest and rarest whiskies The Singleton has ever released – over half a century of skilled ageing embody the Paragon of Time series’ masterful exploration of time itself. Such long-matured whiskies only attain real character and true richness through great skill and care; shaped to perfection by our slow-crafting tradition. We were tasked to create a bespoke decanter and accompanying case that befit this rare and exceptional liquid. The crystal bottle was hand-crafted in the UK with a refined and true Singleton silhouette, the intricate metal work crafted by royal warrant holders, Thomas Fattorini. The five facets, cask-shaped collar and crystal wings of the bottle all subtly reflect the very cask that protected this precious liquid for over half a century. We brought to life a robust leathered lined cabinet with its imposing form housing individually both the ultra-bespoke crystal bottles in their own way. The 53yo is glorified in the centre amongst 5 layers of gilt-edged oak, each representing a decade of maturation, while the 54 yo is presented before a Scottish highland inspired display intricately layered with 54 pieces of oak and copper each marking the year to when it finally get uncased. Only 117 bottles of the 53yo, and 265 bottles of 54yo were made available to the world.
Highlights
We worked in collaboration with world-renowned craftsmen and facilities to ensure that every single piece of the design is considered and designed to elevate the brand above and beyond, making the design truly befitting for the oldest and one of the most luxurious spirits from the Diageo group.
