Client: Overholt

Overview: “Let’s bring back his frown.”
When Beam Suntory asked us to refresh Old Overholt, the longest continually maintained Rye Whiskey brand in America, we started with the man himself. Abe’s grumpiness is fueled by his grit, perseverance, and attitude. His grumpiness inspired an honest tone of voice, an unvarnished photographic style, and a bold use of color and illustration.
