One Eight Distilling, a craft distillery in Washington, D.C., unveiled its newly redesigned “District Made” spirits portfolio and named Breakthru Beverage Group to distribute its products the DC and Maryland markets with additional growth in the Mid-Atlantic soon.
The bold, industrial District Made design is inspired by the distillery’s sense of pride in Ivy City, it’s northeast Washington neighborhood.
The new packaging features a custom octagonal glass bottle embossed with the distillery’s logo and three stars on each side, referencing the DC flag. The octagonal shape pays homage to the distillery’s namesake, Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution; the provision that called for a district to become the nation’s capital.
A dark textured map showing the distillery’s location in Ivy City provides the background of the label with “District Made” emblazoned across the top in an assertive font. A diamond cutout on the front label reveals a gold map of the District on the inside of the bottle. Prominently featured on the back label, the brand statement ‘We are One Eight – We are District Made’ signals a commitment to grain to glass spirits distilled and bottled entirely within the District.
