BALDWIN'S GIN by Braeckman Graanstokerij
A premium handcrafted distilled gin with a strong roots to the crusaders rich history.
Inspired by the rich and intriguing stories of the bold and brave knight 'Baldwin IX, Duke of Flanders' and first emperor of Constantinopel, we created a design for Baldwin’s Gin which asked to evoke the fascinating world of the Middle Ages. Baldwin had an important influence on the fourth Crusade and helped to introduce Juniper from the Holy land to the Flemish countryside. So in turn, we introduced the iconic Crusaders Cross as an impactful brand symbol, used literally as a window to this inspiring world.
By looking through the cross, a typical medieval illustration showcasing the story of Baldwin’s life appears before your eyes, inviting you to participate in his intriguing journey. The deformation by the liquid adds an extra mysterious touch to what you see. All of this emphasized by a powerful colour setting on the inside of the label. Both the boldness and nobility of Baldwin blend perfectly together in throughout the design thanks to the use of a metal engraved bottle cap and a refined attention to detail.The stamped batch and bottle number establishes each bottles unique quality.
