The anatomy of an icon: inside the Book Keeper decanter

Book Keeper Reserva smoky dark rum in its ledger-inspired decanter

Some bottles are designed to be poured. Book Keeper’s decanter is designed to be kept. Its shape borrows from the ledgers that once recorded every barrel, bale and cask passing through a merchant’s door.

Why a ledger?

The name says it all: a book keeper keeps the records. So the decanter is designed as the case that holds the ledger safe, and the lines running around the glass are the strings that bind its pages together. Every pour turns another page.

Glass, weight and label

The decanter is made from heavy super-flint glass, prized for its brilliant clarity, so the dark rum inside shows through like ink on a page. It sits weighty in the hand, the way a keepsake should. The labels are embossed with a rustic feel, closer to an old record book than to modern packaging.
