Beefeater bottle gets a new London look

Beefeater, the world’s most awarded gin brand, has redesigned its iconic London Dry gin bottle in honour of its UK city home. The new bottle is available globally, including travel retail. Featuring a hand-drawn map of the British capital, the bottle’s packaging reinforces Beefeater‘s status as an authentic London product which continues to be distilled in the heart of the city today.
New bottle: Beefeater London Dry gin

Representing the story of London

The bottle’s new look represents the story of London with the capital’s distinctive landmarks visible on the outside. The new pack design achieves an effective depth of imagery through a bird’s eye view of London – illustrated in classic Beefeater red – that sits on the back of the bottle, acting as a backdrop to the Yeoman and logo in the foreground. 

A stylised map of London captures the rich tapestry of the capital from the viewpoint of Tower Bridge, with other iconic landmarks drawing attention across the background.

Beefeater founder James Burrough’s signature has been introduced on the front label to mark the continued commitment to excellence of today’s gin, which is made using his original 19th century recipe. This recipe continues to make Beefeater the “world’s most awarded gin”, as indicated on the front of the bottle.

The new Beefeater London Dry Gin bottle began rolling out globally from July 2016 and retails at $23 or local equivalent per one-litre bottle.
