    New Crafters Glass Stock Bottle - The Woodsman

    The Woodsman - A Craft Design For Craft Distilleries

    A versatile, timeless bottle. Designed for the American spirits market, with classic, new-world styling. Inspired by antique American whiskey and gin designs from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Simple enough to be transformed by your brand/product into something we never imagined.
    "When I thumb through the glass catalogues at the available designs being offered by most glass companies, I don’t see much that would really resonate with the American market. There are some, but in this burgeoning market, they have been used and overused by everyone, everywhere. You can’t get away from the same 4 or 5 favorites, so it’s hard to stand out."
    For those designs that haven’t been used a thousand times over, it’s clear why. The shapes of the bottles are all wrong. They are tall, slender, curvy and overall very European - even feminine. Most of the distillers I’ve worked with - especially whiskey makers, but gin as well - want something a little more classic than that. A little more scrappy, boot-strappy. Something that looks back on the history of the entire industry with pride and respect. Their products are classic and timeless. They produce using the same ingredients and same techniques as their forebears did over a hundred years ago. There’s nothing “modern” about bourbon or rye. The brand should reflect those values. And the bottle is a big part of the brand image - a very big part - the foundation even. This bottle doesn’t quite tell that entire story all by itself - nor should it. But it it doesn’t get in the way either. It lets you tell your own story and it quietly agrees. All the while a little bit working man. A little bit gentleman. 100% Craft."

    hey guys,

    As of recently, we have been growing very fast and now need the use of some outside sales reps to keep growing. Does anyone know do outside sales reps either for glass bottles or the distilling industry even exist? Any feedback would be great.

    Cheers,

    first time ordering bottles - question about quantity

    The price for bottles when buying only 5,000 is WAY higher.

    If you can afford to step up to 20,000 bottles (a full container) you will likely cut your cost per bottle by 50% or more.

    That has been my experience.

    This. Many people fail to realize this. However, I understand this does not solve the issue of warehousing.

    Hi Tom,

    You are correct. In our catalog we chose to highlight custom bottles on purpose as our main focus is creating unique and custom bottles for craft distillers. Afterall, it is a little ironic how distillers pour their heart into their very distinct and unique product whatever it may be and then turnaround and put it in a stock bottle like the rest of the guys on the shelf. Makes it very hard to stand out IMO. I digress, we have most of the popular stock bottles, was there a certain style that you are looking for?

    Cheers

    @stumpys - Will do!

    @philf34 - Is there an email I can reach you at?

    @Towerguy - PM sent!

    @leftturn - There is a subscribe button on our website, once you subscribe it automatically sends you the catalog. However, if you prefer, I can send you one directly via email.

    Thanks for the inquiries, please let me know if you have any questions.

    Cheers!
