A collaboration between Biggar Gin and Scottish Opera gave birth to a new artisan gin called Suonare. Translating ‘to play’, Suonare is a bespoke gin using botanicals inspired by operas in the Scottish Opera's 60th Season, in a celebration of artisan craftsmanship and mixology.
To embrace this collaboration, we created a brand that conveyed the nature of the product: the worlds of musicology and mixology coming together that would best celebrate their impressive 60-year history.
Designed to be beautiful both visually and aurally, the custom made gin featuring a red label with die-cut holes which when removed and placed in a music box plays ‘Un bel di’ from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. First performed in the first Season in 1962. The die-cut holes on the label then corresponds to the 14 botanicals used in the gin, and are listed by the ability to taste the high and low notes.
