…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.

FEW Spirits Website Launch

The stills are running, the spirits are flowing, and the beautifully branded bottles (expertly designed by the WT team, I might add) are waiting to be filled. In the meantime, WT is proud to present the newly launched FEW Spirits website. A trumpet flare right here would totally be appropriate.

It all started with an in-depth brainstorm session at our local watering hole. After an enormous plate of nachos, and a pint or two of some micro-brewed beverages, sketches were flowing as freely as the I-love-you-man’s.

Getting back to the office, we went to work refining our initial sketches, creating a complete world around our ideas, and mocking it up on screen.

In the coming weeks, our concept quickly became a coded reality. Be sure to visit fewspirits.com to appreciate the full effect of our horizontal scrolling FEW world.
