Think Bold Studio

BlackFox Distillery: Where Craft Meets Character Think Bold Studio teamed up with Black Fox Distillery to create a fresh new look for their award-winning spirits. We wanted the packaging to reflect the same care and quality that goes into every bottle. Inspired by the quickness of the fox and the open beauty of the Canadian prairies, the design blends fine illustrations with bold, modern shapes. Our goal was to honor the distillery’s "farm-to-still" approach, making sure the labels feel as natural and authentic as the ingredients they grow themselves.

Culebra Extra Añejo, is a visual tribute to the layered history of Mexico City, blending the geometric forms of Art Deco with the fluid mysticism of ancient lore.

The bottle’s silhouette draws direct inspiration from the Art Deco architecture that defines iconic districts like Colonia Roma and Condesa. It’s faceted, geometric lines mirror the verticality of Mexico City’s early 20th-century skyscrapers, creating a vessel that feels both like a modern monument and a timeless relic.

At the crown of the bottle rests the Culebra (snake)—a symbol deeply woven into the fabric of Mexican identity. The bronze-finished serpent represents wisdom, rebirth, and the earth’s vital energy.

Monkey Tail Rum, crafted in the Caribbean, aged two years to develop rich aromas of wood, to***co and coffee.

Reflecting on this past year, I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement and appreciation I’ve received. Thank you for being a part of it and for all your support. Wishing you the very best for 2026! ❤️

Ad Astra – A Wine That Looks to the Stars

Ad Astra comes from a quiet vineyard in the countryside, where the night sky is clear and full of stars. Inspired by this setting, the wine is presented in a custom-made tube shaped like a telescope. The design is not just for looks—it also keeps the bottle lying flat, which is the best way to store wine. This packaging is both practical and poetic, turning every bottle into a small journey from the earth to the stars.

“The details are not the details. They make the design”

Dutch 45 Premium Rum is a Venezuelan-style rum crafted with exceptional depth and character. It features rich notes of coconut, nutmeg, vanilla, banana, pineapple, and caramel, offering a smooth yet complex flavour profile. What makes Dutch 45 truly unique is its aging process—first matured for 4 years in American oak barrels, enhancing its warmth and depth, and then finished for an additional year in Jamaican rum barrels, adding a distinctive layered complexity. This dual maturation process ensures that Dutch 45 maintains the essence of a fine Caribbean rum while incorporating subtle whiskey-like notes, making it an exceptional choice for both rum and whiskey enthusiasts alike.

Special edition packaging design for Ducks Unlimited & World Whiskey Society .The exterior is crafted to resemble a shotgun stock, with polished burl wood featuring intricate natural swirls and grains that exude a refined, organic aesthetic. A metallic inlay with engraved filigree patterns runs along the side, adding an element of craftsmanship and elegance. The branding is discreetly placed at the base, complementing the overall premium feel and aligning with a nature-inspired, hunting theme.

The box incorporates a unique functional detail, opening by pulling a trigger, mimicking the functionality of a shotgun. Inside, the green velvet-textured lining, complete with embossed patterns, enhances the sense of luxury and bespoke artistry. The packaging houses an elegant decanter-style bottle, further emphasizing exclusivity and the attention to detail in its craftsmanship.

Quinta das Carvalhas, a brand of Real Companhia Velha, is one of the most emblematic and spectacular properties in the Douro Valley. Written references to this magnificent vineyard date back to 1759, and its old vines, planted after the phylloxera outbreak, are now reaching the respectable age of one century. We designed the packaging for the wine range, with the tube featuring a black background adorned with intricate illustrations of flora and fauna, creating a luxurious and nature-inspired aesthetic. The text highlights the product's heritage, and the overall design conveys tradition, elegance, and a connection to nature, appealing to a sophisticated audience.

We’re thrilled to get this award for our wine packaging!
Huge thanks for the recognition!
