"One Ocean Rum Whisky" was another highlight. Created in collaboration with Oss Craft Distillery and the iconic Statsraad Lehmkuhl, the branding captures the spirit of exploration and sustainability. With details like embossed world maps and copper-foiled expedition routes, the design is a tribute to a daring journey blending storytelling and sophistication.
