A limited edition single malt for Adelphi
Nevis Design recently completed the branding and packaging for the limited edition single malt 'Fascadale' from Adelphi. Fascadale, meaning 'ship's haven', lies on the north-west point of the rugged, and timeless, Ardnamurchan peninsula where whispered tales of smuggling abound. Adelphi only select the finest casks, and bottle without colouring or chill filtration. Nevis has worked with Adelphi for more than twelve years and has created branding and packaging for a wide variety of special bottlings, selections of which are now available in exclusive outlets worldwide. This reflects their position as the most acclaimed independent bottler of single casks of rare malt whisky.

As Luxe as it Gets...
Nevis Design continues to work closely with the award winning Rutland Hotel. The venue was recently awarded with 'Best Designed Hotel', 'Best Bar' and 'Best Newcomer' at the 2009 UK Shoty Awards. The consultancy was tasked with creating a sales brochure and other collateral to attract corporate groups and affluent individuals from the UK and throughout Europe. The foundation and concept for the brochure was born from an illustrative essay from all areas of the establishment - a combination of style, charisma and persona. In-keeping with the finishing touches of the award winning hotel & restaurant, all work was completed to the highest of standards. The amalgamation of the print quality, copper foiling, and transparent materials are just a few of the elements that were used to reflect the interior of the elegant boutique hotel. Nevis is also pleased to announce that work completed for the Rutland Hotel has been nominated for a Howard Smith Print Award. Now in their second year, the Howard Smith Paper Graphic Design and Print Awards pride themselves on recognising only the most exceptional and distinguishing of designs. Such an award gives centre-stage to Nevis and to the craftsmanship and collaborations the work created.
