Sonnet – Apple Brandy

Sonnet Apple Brandy is a premium branding concept that fuses 16th-century heritage with the contemporary craft distillery movement. Drawing inspiration from the literary legacy of William Shakespeare, the identity explores the relationship between literature and spirit culture through a refined modern-vintage aesthetic.

At the heart of the design is a bespoke engraved illustration that combines Shakespeare’s portrait with a vivid apple: a visual symbol of knowledge, sophistication, and craftsmanship. Paired with a bold vertical serif logotype inspired by classic book spines, the identity creates a distinctive and luxurious presence within the premium spirits market.
