Sacred Spirits
March 2024
Sacred Spirits was founded in 2008 when Londoner and distiller Ian Hart decided to change the game, with the onus on quality.
Instead of using traditional pot distillation, Ian opted for vacuum distillation as a way to preserve the richness of flavour and aromas of his hand-picked botanicals. The Sacred Spirits distilleries are truly unique, designed by Ian to his exact specification. The setup, complete with bespoke handblown glassware from York, gives him complete control over a small volume/high quality production process, enabling him to adapt the delicate apparatus to suit every distillation.
Following a repositioning and rebrand, D8 designed a new bottle complete with coils to reflect Ian’s unique making process. Referring to what Ian and Sacred do as ‘innovative’ doesn’t quite capture the depth of their knowledge, passion and creativity, which was summed up in the new brand mantra: Innovation is everyday, invention is Sacred.
