We researched the bourbon category and American history pertaining to the American Revolution. Our goal was to create a structure out of glass that would be like no other structure in the bourbon whiskey category. The rattlesnake, a symbol for American independence, dates back to the American revolution, coils around the tailored shotgun shell-shaped bottle. The bottom of the bottle is finished off with a custom embossed base to represent the brass casing of the shotgun shell. The neck closure is a wood bar-top cork and the neck is dressed with a leather strap.
