Portage Gin

Portage

Sid Lee

BronzeDesign - Packaging

Branding a British-style gin distilled in Montreal? No problem. Taking the colours of the Union Jack, Sid Lee drew bold lines down Portage’s bottles and around its boxes. The boxes cut-out window is shaped like a canoe paddle and evokes the voyageurs who forged Canada’s history. At a time when flavoured gins are popular in Quebec, this London Dry spirit broke through.
