Visit the
Original Sin bar in East London for a
chance to win a unique very limited
edition bottle of Ballantine's.
 Ballantine’s Finest
this week launched a
collection of just 12 very unique limited edition
bottles, which have been hand painted by
the world’s leading ‘GIF-ITI’ and fine
artist INSA.
As you can see from the animated gif
picture on the right INSA has transformed
12 ordinary bottles of Ballantine's
Finest into a
vibrant animated piece in the artist’s
trademark style.
The 12 limited edition
bottles will be exhibited at East
London’s Original Sin bar and both
Ballantine’s and INSA fans around the
world will get the chance to own one for
themselves via social media.
The innovative partnership is part of
Ballantine’s ongoing drive for
innovation, collaboration with creative
talent and new ways to present the brand
in the digital space.
The limited edition bottle collection
has once again provided INSA an
opportunity to ‘Stay True’ to his
passion for experimentation and
innovation, demonstrating a desire to go
beyond the constraints of creating a
limited edition bottle for the off line
world to produce something in his
trademark style.
To create the animated work, INSA first
took twelve of Ballantine’s iconic
bottles into his London studio and hand
painted them with his trademark ‘Looking
for Love’ inverted heart motif. Each of
the 12 bottles is totally unique, with
the design evolving gradually across
them. Once complete, each one was
photographed and then stitched together
creating the intricate animated “whisky
GIF”.
INSA commented, "Rather than just produce
another limited edition bottle, I wanted
to try out a new idea and take my GIF
work to a three dimensional item, and
animate across its surface. The
Ballantine’s rectangular bottle was a
great shape to work with. Creating the
Space GIF-iti film with Ballantine’s was
such a monumental achievement and it was
exciting to extend our collaboration."
As hand painted and limited edition
works of art, the bottles will not be
made available for sale. Instead,
visitors to London’s Original Sin bar
will be able to view the collection from
March 25th to April 3rd and have the
chance to win one via their Twitter and
Instagram channels using the handle @originalsinbar.
If you want to win one of the specially
designed @ballantines_official bottles
by @insa_gram. Then drop by
Original Sin in East London and take pic
of one or more of the bottles and tweet/instagram
you pics using #OriginalXInsa tagging
insa, original sin and ballantines.
Get your camera ready and your tweets
and pics flowing and they will pick a
winner.
Those of you not familiar with
Original Sin, it is a new offering from
the team behind the world-renowned
Happiness Forgets cocktail bar and since
opening earlier this year has proved
just as popular. Situated in Stoke
Newington, East London, it caters both
to the area’s creative residents as a
local spot and as a destination bar for
visitors from further afield.
Good Luck!
