A new-look Irish Whiskey Collection outlet offering 121 different expressions has opened in Dublin Airport\u2019s Terminal 1.<\/p>\n
Created by London-based airport specialist retail design company The Design Solution, The Irish Whiskey Collection is located within the airport\u2019s new \u20ac8 million store The Loop, which boasts a total of 371 whiskies from around the world.<\/p>\n
In addition, there are six stands displaying numerous limited edition whiskeys carrying price tags from \u20ac3,000 to \u20ac6,000.<\/p>\n
Aer Rianta International (ARI), a subsidiary of Dublin Airport Authority, operates the store.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a fantastic project to work as we were able to create an epicentre bringing the feeling of a bar to the heart of the buzz in this popular store,\u201d commented Kevin Patience, creative director of The Design Solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a stunning emperado marble surface, the bar is also a functional piece of furniture which makes the most of the space \u2013 always a scarce commodity in airport stores.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took the original design we had created in Terminal 2 in 2010 which features extensive copper and contemporised that heritage in a luxury solution that makes it easy for shoppers to explore and navigate the category.\u201d<\/p>\n
The design of the store has been chosen to emulate the \u201ccontemporary masculinity of a gentleman\u2019s club\u201d, and features polished copper framing, black painted glass and amber back-illuminated acrylic to \u201cplay on the tones from the whiskey\u201d.<\/p>\n
