"SHINOBU"

The bottle design of SHINOBU Blended Whisky SHOGUN is inspired by the armor of a Japanese general  from the late Sengoku period.

The bottle features a full wrap-around design, combining minimalist body lines with intricate knot imagery, evoking the steadfastness and loyalty of the samurai

To give this whisky bottle a more modern appeal, we simplified the design of the general's armor to align with contemporary aesthetics while preserving its historical essence.  The head design remains true to the traditional Japanese helmet, with large, imposing horns that not exude a sense of majesty but also symbolize the fearless spirit of the samurai.
