label contast

I know gin is supposed to be water clear.  But this is no ordinary gin.  Let me explain.

I went through my alcohols and got together all the stuff that wasn't worth drinking but not bad enough to throw away.  Stuff like heads, tails,  low wines, and other stuff that I knew had a purpose other than drain cleaner.

I got all this stuff in a five gallon bucket where it proofed out to 130.  I then added a sachet of juniper berries, coriander, lemon zest, and a few other things and let it set for 53 hours.  I then reduced the alcohol content to 60 proof and ran it through a pot still.

After bringing the proof down to 86 I gave it a taste, then another taste.    Not bad for a gin, and I hate gin.
I hated gin ever since I stole a half gallon of the stuff from my fathers liquor cabinet and slept half the afternoon off in my neighbors back yard, only to wake up half way to the hospital to get my stomach pumped.  It inebriated me to another dimension but scared the shit out of my father when the neighbor called to say I was in his back yard, not moving.

Well, all thats behind me, and outside of a few interludes with Guinevere and a few cases of frozen Doornkart, I figured it's time to make something better than average gin.

Anyway... what makes this gin so excellent is a few dashes of bitters.  That's it.  Just a few dashes turned this rather hot tasting gin into something worthy of sipping ice cold.

After sipping a small bottle of this stuff, the idea came to me to market some hip flasks to extol the virtues of imbibation.  And this is where I'm stuck.  I need a decent copy for the labels I plan on putting on these flasks I intend to market and I'm looking for some ideas.  You don't have to go all photoshop over this.  Just an outline, a pic, or a slogan will do.  I suggest you get drunk before you start and send it out before you sober up.  Even if it's a rambling email suggesting what goes where with lots of misspellings.  Trust me, that's the copy I'm looking for.  Bring out your inner drunkard and create something to be proud of. 

The first person to send me copy of a label that I use will receive a free flask with the approved label.  Not only that, but they'll receive the FIRST flask I produce.  I'll even mark it as 00001, as proof this is the first in production.  I'll even put your likeness on the label, If I really flip over it and if you're ok with your likeness on a hooch hip flask.

So, take a shot, put on your thinking caps and be famous.
