Whiskey is part of the world. There's American Whiskey, Irish Whiskey, Japanese Whiskey, Scotch, and so on. It’s part of music, movies, literature, and fashion - but it feels a bit "stuck in the past" so-to-speak. With so much exciting change happening in other spirits categories such as Rum, Gin, & Tequila, Whiskey has been left behind. We want to blow off the dust and revive the Whiskey category. 

How can we create a whiskey that feels culturally relevant?  More specifically:

  • How can we take whiskey from being an old man drink to an every person drink?
  • How can we take whiskey out of dark leather arm chairs and roaring fires to casual early evening hangs outs with friends?
  • How can we take whiskey from harsh neat liquid to delicious drinks?

We think Whiskey should be youthful, global, and cool. It's a drink of substance for people of substance. Tell us about your great idea for giving Whiskey a true revival! 


This challenge is for participants 21 years or older.

Deliverables

We want to hear your great idea for reviving Whiskey. You are welcome to innovate around all types and categories of Whiskey (American, Irish, Japanese, Scotch, etc.) Specifically, address the following:

  1. What is your product idea for a brand new Whiskey? (We want your ideas about the product itself, not just advertising ideas!)
    1. What is your brand? Think about the bottle, the packaging, the label, the way it will be advertised when describing your brand in detail.
  2. What is special or unique about the Whiskey?
  3. Who is your target customer? Who will this Whiskey appeal to? Why?
  4. Why is your idea culturally relevant? 
  5. If you were to announce the launch of your new Whiskey on Twitter, what would your tweet be?
  6. Provide a visual to bring your product to life. Your visual must include the packaging and label of the product. It is optional to also include the glass/bottle style.
