…And the Box They Came In.

Introducing the FEW Spirits limited edition wooden display crate. So limited that there are only three in existence!

Commissioned to hold the first four releases from FEW Spirits, this custom, handcrafted tenement box is made out of reclaimed “old-growth” timber deconstructed from a Chicago structure originally built in the late 19th Century.

Michael Pendleton of MP Custom Made constructed this beaut of a box for us, featuring old skool finger joints, felt-lined bottle cradles, laser engraved slide top, and silk-screened artwork on the inside. A befitting container for our precious FEW.

FEW Spirits - Handcrafted Packaged Goods

FEW Spirits is a craft distillery, located in Evanston, Illinois just north of Chicago, which offers premium small-batch spirits made entirely on-premises from grain to bottle. In order to bring their product to market, FEW relied on our expertise and vision to design a brand & label that was worthy of their handcrafted liquors.

Featuring commissioned illustrations by artist, Donovan Foote, our brand concept harkened back to an era that displayed the gumption and can-do attitude that not only placed Chicago on the world’s stage in 1893, but also the tenacity that made FEW Spirits the first legal distillery in Evanston. Applied by hand, every individually numbered and signed bottle is a one-of-a-kind artifact designed to be treasured long after its contents are gone.

Currently available in four varieties, FEW Spirits will be expanding their line with more of our beautifully designed labels soon. Enjoy.

Distill My Heart

It was an exciting day for both, our client, Paul Hletko, owner and Master Distiller of Few Spirits, and all of us over at WT. Despite the unforgiving cold, seeing the arrival of the imported German stills in all their polished metal glory brought the kind of slow burn warmth you get from fine spirits. These gleaming behemoths are going to be home to the first legal alcohol to ever be distilled in Evanston. Pretty cool. It’s exciting for us too, since now we can be sure Paul will have something to put in those meticulously designed bottles we’ve been laboring over! But the finest spirits deserve the finest bottles. It’s all about the hand-crafted love.
