Gone but not forgotten

Is this the final chapter for some of the World's great brand experiences?

There are some great brand experiences that I have visited that, for whatever reason, have since closed to the general public.

The architecture and design, pioneering ideas and people, and remarkable histories deserve to be remembered.

For some, this is their final chapter.

For others, production continues behind closed doors, and I wait and hope that they reopen, so they can write their next chapter.

I Visit Aviation Gin

We visited the distillery flying in the face of tradition. Diageo and Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin is Portland’s smoothest export, and it deserved a spot on every Oregon itinerary.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

I Visit Empirical Spirits

We visited the rule breaking, punk, flavour alchemists, Empirical Spirits, before they moved from their Danish home to their new Brooklyn site.
