Omdesign® returned to the origins of Scotch Whisky to create Chronicle, a tribute to time, legacy, and the unique character of a single cask aged for decades under extreme conditions. This rare spirit captures the essence of its journey through a decanter that merges amber tones and crystal-clear layers, enhancing the mystery of its aromas and flavors. Developed for The Auld Alliance, a renowned name in premium spirits, Chronicle embodies a moment of reverence for whisky. The decanter echoes the shape of the original “auld” cask and blends interior glass forms with an exterior made of wooden staves, silver details, and Scottish tweed textures — celebrating both tradition and innovation. A 360° view reveals intricate interior design, while the bottleneck takes inspiration from one of the oldest known whisky bottles. A chiseled silver base evokes the whisky’s terroir, reinforcing its deep roots in the Scottish landscape. To elevate the experience, the project includes a bespoke pipette and pump, custom supports, and a wooden display inspired by the barrel itself. The transport case, wrapped in black leather and lined with tweed, was designed to be both protective and collectible — mirroring the artistry and rarity of the whisky it holds.
