Jawbox Gin Unveils New Bottle Design
Jawbox Gin has recently unveiled a new look bottle created to reflect the rich heritage and quality of the spirit, manufactured by awarding winning Allied Glass. A stunning yet robust container manufactured in extra white flint glass, the design features intricate embossing on the bottle’s front shoulder panel, Richard Ryan of Jawbox Gin says: “We wanted to create a new bottle which would not only stand out on the shelf behind the bar but also tell the story of this authentic spirit in a unique way.”
Jawbox Gin is a fantastic, vibrant spirit which takes its name from one of Belfast’s most lasting legacies, the Belfast sink, also known as the Jawbox. Jawbox is the spirit that inspired the creation of Jawbox – a gin brand for the adventurous, the confident and curious; for those who enjoy every moment. A Jawbox, more commonly known as a Belfast Sink, was a staple in Northern Irish households of old, used to wash near enough anything “from dishes, clothes, bikes, children and even sometimes their husbands,” said Jawbox Classic Dry Gin founder Gerry White. The sink was a busy place, with a lot of life and chatters revolving around it and as such has served to be one of Belfast’s most lasting legacies.
Eleven botanicals make up Jawbox Classic Dry Gin’s recipe: juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root, grains of paradise, liquorice root, cubebs, cardamom, cassia quills, black mountain heather and lemon peel. Three of these – a secret three – are vapour distilled, though Gerry informs them that they are a trio particularly sensitive to the effects of steeping. Michael Hogley, Head of Design and Decoration at allied, says: “We have created a bottle which is truly different, engaging and effective.”
