#3 It’s Artsy
Well, it’s hard to avoid the word “Art”, but hey! ...it does sort of feel like entering a gallery of flavors. They don’t call it the fine art of creating Spirits for no reason, so enjoying Spirits should follow, right?
To put it simply, it creates an impression of the drink, which is just as creative and complex as the drink itself. In The Flavor Spiral, fine art and the art of creating fine Spirits are fused together, as if one. Each flavor component was drawn by a Flaviar commissioned artist, while their composition in The Flavor Spiral is influenced by Master Distillers, Blenders, and connoisseurs.
As Flaviar’s Creative Director Vlad puts it: “While placing function before form might work for some things, it doesn’t work for the abstract world of flavors. So we ditched the uber-rational approach, looked at each flavor, and asked 'What does it remind me of or how does it make me feel?' And the outcome was all these random shapes, lines, faces, and whatnots that you see from the Spiral. And more will come. You know, you can drink the same Scotch all the time, but it will never be the same experience.”
