GIMME: The Balvenie Ambassador Case

The Lovely Package
The box inside the Balvenie Ambassador Case

Cynics will say everything has its price, but they probably haven't ever tried to wrest a sample case away from its rightful owner; in this instance, a Balvenie Scotch whisky ambassador. Packaging design blog The Lovely Package highlights the handmade, bespoke Balvenie Ambassador Case given to the Scotch distillery's representatives to visually explain the process of making and aging Balvenie.

Dreamed up by Here Design and handmade in the United Kingdom, the leather case "presents the Balvenie story from barley to bottle. The case contains bespoke boxes which are individually tooled to hold ears of barley, a miniature copper still, cask samples, miniature barrels and tasting bottles.”

Miniature copper still and sherry butts plus tiny bottles of deluxe booze? My inner 12-year old meticulously decorating her dollhouse finally gets the meet the lushy almost-thirty she was destined to become. Visit The Lovely Package for more gorgeous photos.
