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​😅 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.😃 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 ![1000238910](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a061417d2b8e579819fc7be41419597d8f8dd552.jpeg) ![1000238909](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/7/9781a0ef2734182471c85acdc9a6a23e0adb7cea.jpeg) ![1000238908](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/9/a9fb2605ddaae6689c4a5458e8acff8ef4979be2.jpeg) ---

Wow, congrats Rob! One bottling revealed and the next one already teased! Can’t wait to know more 🙂 ---

Looks fantastic! 🤩 Tastes probably even better 😋 ---

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 😅. ---

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 😂 ---

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.😉 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. 😃 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​👌 ---

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."😂: [https://youtu.be/54p7BdE6hys?is=I-3S0HBCmcAMEAZl](https://youtu.be/54p7BdE6hys?is=I-3S0HBCmcAMEAZl&utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum) Joking aside: I’m excited to see what’s coming!🤩😋🥃🙏🏼 ---

Top role model. Maybe you just need to make exactly this video for your big breakthrough 😂🙏🏼
