CORAL Rum 12 Years: from legend of the deep to premium private label rum
Brouwhoeve developed the complete private label concept. From positioning and brand story to bottle design, label, closure, packaging, and production-ready execution.
A special rum does not start with the bottle. It starts with an idea, a flavor direction, and a story that people want to remember. CORAL Rum 12 Years brings these elements together in one powerful concept: a twelve-year-aged rum, refined with a finish on Oloroso casks and presented in a distinctive bottle with a luxury gift box.
The development of CORAL Rum 12 Years
The ambition behind CORAL was clear: to create a premium rum that tastes smooth and complex while being visually distinctive. distillation and bottling).
The rum had to be interesting for the connoisseur who enjoys aged rum neat and pure. At the same time, the presentation had to be appealing to consumers and companies looking for a special gift. Also, for bartenders and lovers of high-quality cocktails, CORAL needed to offer sufficient character and aromatic depth.
Therefore, flavor, story, and design have been developed as a cohesive whole from the beginning. The twelve-year aging forms the mature foundation of the rum. The finish on Oloroso casks adds extra depth, with notes reminiscent of dried fruit, raisins, nuts, and fine wood.
CORAL invites you to savor slowly, but also has enough character for, for example, a Rum Old Fashioned or another refined rum cocktail.
The origin of the name CORAL
The name CORAL was inspired by the lore surrounding Rum Cay, an island in the Bahamas. According to the story, the island got its name after a ship carrying a cargo of rum shipwrecked on a coral reef off the coast. The rum barrels were said to have been carried to the island by the sea following the shipwreck. In this way, rum, seafaring, and coral became inextricably linked.
That historical lore formed the starting point for CORAL's brand story. In our own legend, the reef did not want to destroy the ship, but rather to protect its most precious treasure. While parts of the wreck drifted to the shore, the rum remained behind in the silence of the ocean, hidden among the coral and untouched by the outside world.
CORAL therefore stands for depth, time, and hidden value. That aligns perfectly with a rum that has matured for twelve years and was subsequently further refined with a finish in Oloroso casks.
Visually, the name also offers a strong foundation. Coral structures, deep ocean blue, subtle gold accents, and the warm amber color of the rum come together in one recognizable brand world. In this way, CORAL not only tells a story about the origin of the name, but also about the character of the rum itself: rich, layered, and made to be discovered slowly.
A brand story that connects flavor and imagination
CORAL is presented as a rum that has been reclaimed from the depths.
The brand world revolves around silence, patience, and discovery. The twelve-year aging represents the time needed to build character. The coral protects the treasure in the bottle: a rum that is not consumed thoughtlessly, but discovered with attention.
This way, the consumer receives more than just a product description. The bottle begins to tell the story even before it is opened.
The bottle design: powerful and recognizable
For CORAL, a wide, low bottle with rounded shoulders, clear glass, and a sturdy visual base has been chosen.
The shape resembles a modern carafe and showcases the warm amber color of the rum beautifully. This creates a strong contrast between the distillate and the dark brand identity.
The large oval label follows the curves of the bottle and is framed by a fine gold-colored border. Above the brand name is a stylized coral symbol. This emblem can be used not only on the bottle but also on gift packaging, promotional materials, and other brand expressions.
The label, the cap, and the neck finish
The label of CORAL directly connects to the brand story. The logo represents a stylized coral, while the organic pattern on the deep blue background abstractly refers to the seabed and the coral world. The calm composition provides a luxurious appearance without the design becoming too busy.
The name CORAL is central in an elegant typeface. The designation “Ron 12 años” emphasizes the twelve-year aging and the Spanish character of the rum. The gold-colored details are chosen to exude elegance, refinement, and exclusivity. They also form a nice contrast with the dark blue and the warm amber color of the drink.
The dark cap is also part of the brand identity. On the top, there is a round emblem with the coral logo and the name CORAL, making the brand recognizable from above as well. A vertical neck strip with the same pattern runs over the bottle neck. Narrow gold-colored lines connect the cap, the neck finish, and the main label into one cohesive whole.
For the gift box, the same visual style has been carried through. The base consists of a sleek, black box that exudes calmness and luxury. Around the middle comes a broad cardboard sleeve that wraps around the box like an elegant band. This sleeve features the same deep blue background, the abstract coral pattern, the logo, and the gold-colored details as the label. In this way, the bottle and the packaging together form a single recognizable and premium whole.
Twelve years of aging and a finish in Oloroso casks
In aged rum, time plays an important part in the character.
CORAL has been able to develop for twelve years before the rum was further refined with an Oloroso cask finish. That combination forms the substantive core of the product.
The long aging provides softness, coherence, and a clear wood influence. The Oloroso finish adds a richer aromatic layer, with associations of dried fruits, raisins, nuts, and warm spices.
As a result, CORAL appeals to experienced rum drinkers and lovers of aged whisky. At the same time, the profile remains accessible for consumers who want to take their first step into the world of premium sipping rum.
A luxury gift packaging
CORAL was not only developed as a drink, but also as a premium gift product.
The tall black box immediately gives the bottle a luxurious context. A dark blue band featuring the coral pattern, the brand name, and gold-colored accents runs around the middle. The bottle and packaging thereby form one recognizable visual family.
The gift box makes CORAL suitable for holidays, business relations, dinners, and special moments. For someone giving a bottle as a gift, the first impression is at least as important as the contents. The packaging ensures that CORAL feels special even before opening.
From first idea to production-ready concept
The development of CORAL proceeded in clear steps.
First, the target audience, positioning, and flavor direction were determined. Then the name and brand story followed. From that foundation, the logo, label, bottle presentation, cap, neck finish, and gift box were developed.
Next, the creative design had to be translated into a product that can actually be produced. Consideration was given to the available space for product information, the dimensions of the labels, the combination of bottle and closure, and the practical handling of the gift packaging.
