Bacchanalia Serie Swell x Rob Bauer

Next week I’ll tell you a bit about my new, small series BACCHANALIA with Swell De Spirits.
I once had the crazy idea to create a completely new bottle haptics, in which we dip the entire bottle by hand in wax. Then comes a fine, thick, richly decorated cotton paper label. Each bottle thus becomes a unique piece, as there will be natural elevations and irregularities here and there.
The first attempts looked promising. Keep your fingers crossed for us​:sweat_smile:
As for the hand-picked casks, I can of course only say: uncompromising selection as always. I’ve sent poor Mikael through multiple sampling rounds over the course of a year.:smiley: Even though the first cask is a bit older, some of you here will have already tasted it at an earlier point in time.
I won’t reveal any more for now..
Cheers, Rob

With such beautiful bottles, I’d always worry that I could get the same stuff for cheaper if I skipped all the fancy packaging.

And even more — that a good portion would just sit unopened gathering dust as decoration on collector’s shelves.

But since I’ve also bought bottles purely based on how nice the label looks, I guess I’m throwing stones in a glass house myself :sweat_smile:.

Then one can hardly wait to see what happens, I can just imagine that one or another shipping company destroys the artwork during transport

Greetings to DPD :joy:

Rest assured that the incredible effort we’ll put into design won’t be reflected in the price at all — it will even be possible to calculate this exactly once the details are published.:wink: By the way, that’s the case with all my editions.
I can already understand your approach. For me, as a passionate artist at heart, it’s simply impossible to just put a spirit into a generic, soulless bottle. :smiley: My mind works a bit differently.
Wherever my name is on it, there’s always a holistic, synesthetic experience.
But for purely purist generic products, there are plenty of providers out there, like Rum Artesanal, which I also think are great​:ok_hand:

Haha I’ll keep a close eye on that like a hawk. But yeah, with wax it won’t be easy. On the other hand, the wax used by Swell is very elastic. Fingers crossed.

I’d then really like a video in the style of the 2012 Hipp ad from you where you also say in relation to the series: "I stand by that with my name.":joy::
