Wow! Packaging
Special edition 50-year-old Glenfiddich scotch comes in some impressive packaging. (I would love to taste it!)
This is what packaging for a $15,000 bottle whiskey looks like.
Only 500 individually numbered, hand-blown glass bottles will be
available, each adorned with Scottish silver and packaged in
leather-bound cases. 50 bottles will be released each year, for a
period of 10 years.

8 Ways To Drive A Graphic Designer Mad
# 5
When describing what you want in a design, make sure to use terms that
don’t really mean anything. Terms like 'jazz it up a bit' or 'can you make it more webbish'.
'I would like the design to be beautiful' or 'I prefer nice graphics,
graphics that, you know, when you look at them you go: Those are nice
graphics.' are other options. Don’t feel bad about it, you’ve got the
right. In fact, it’s your duty because we all know that on fullmoons,
graphic designers shapeshift into werewolves.
