Garrafas de gin com peças Harley-Davidson dentro delas

Já pensou em colocar peças de motocicletas antigas dentro de suas garrafas de bebida? Pois é, eu também não. Só que Uwe Ehinger, restaurador e comerciante de peças para Harley-Davidson, pensou nisso.

Ele coloca peças vintage da Harley-Davidson em garrafas, depois substitui o ar que há dentro delas por gin.

De acordo com o seu próprio press release, Ehinger é conhecido como "o arqueologista", pois percorre o mundo em busca de velhas motocicletas e peças Harley-Davidson, e cada garrafa de gin leva o nome de um modelo da marca.

Três garrafas diferentes estão disponíveis para escolha (ou compra de todas elas, se for este o seu caso): 1939 Flathead, 1947 Knucklehead ou 1962 Panhead. Dentro de cada garrafa, vai uma peça do modelo Harley-Davidson correspondente, como um comando de válvulas, porca ou balancim.

Tá, mas estas peças vão contaminar a bebida? Ela vai ficar com gosto de óleo? Não e não. As peças são limpas e banhadas em uma solução de liga de estanho, para assegurar que o gin não seja contaminado. Além disso, os rótulos das garrafas são no estilo vintage, vem junto com uma carta contando como Ehinger encontrou a motocicleta cuja peça foi extraída para ser colocada dentro da garrafa, e uma plaqueta com o número de série da peça.

A primeira remessa de garrafas de gin virá a um preço entre 1.050 e 1.300 dólares, e toda a produção já foi vendida. Caso você ainda queira uma garrafa, Ehinger já disse que irá comercializar uma segunda remessa.

The Archaeologist: In a World First, the True Spirit of Harley Davidson is Embodied in Drinkable Form. Serviceplan Group Develop Creative Concept with Renowned Hamburg Designers "Studio Oeding"

Lovers of iconic Harley Davidson motorbikes from all over the globe make a pilgrimage to the workshop of Ehinger Kraftrad, an internationally renowned manufacturer of custom-made motorbikes. Kraftrad has taken his obsession to another level, with the creation of 'The Archaeologist', a Premium Dry Gin whose bottles have the unusual feature of containing original Harley engine parts.

HAMBURG, Germany, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, Uwe Ehinger, founder and namesake of the world's first Premium Dry Gin to contain Harley Davidson engine parts, has been searching the most remote places on the planet for antique motorbikes, and saving them for dealing or as core pieces for designing his own models. This earned him the nickname ˮThe Archaeologist".

ˮEverything I do pays tribute to the things that used to be", Ehinger explains about his work. Now he honours some of the greatest legends in motorcycle history with a special homage in liquid form: ˮThe Archaeologist".

"The Archaeologist" is a Premium Dry Gin – and the first spirit of its kind. Thus, it's filled in bottles together with original engine parts of legendary Harley Davidson bikes Ehinger has discovered someplace over the world: 1939 Flathead camshafts from the Mexican desert, 1947 Knucklehead screw-nuts from Chile or 1962 Panhead rocker arms from South Korea. To each of these iconic machines, Ehinger dedicates a very own sort of tribute Gin.

As an analogy to Ehinger's motorcycles, ˮThe Archaeologist" is pure craftsmanship: The parts of the motorbikes are specially cleansed and sealed with a tin alloy to make it safe for them to be utilized in a drink. Subsequently, they are soldered onto a steel structure and encased by a handcrafted bottle. The creative concept was developed by Serviceplan Group together with renowned Hamburg designers "Studio Oeding".

The entire look and feel recreates the original packing of the antique engine parts – using authentic materials and historic techniques. Packages are made using selected cardboards and colours, printed on an original Heidelberg Tiegel printing press from 1931. Waxed wrapping paper tells the story of each discovery.

This unique design is completed by hand-stamped, tamper-proof seals and clenched hang-tags, each bearing the unique serial number of the engine part in its respective bottle.

Every single bottle of ˮThe Archaeologist" is a unique item and therefore as irretrievable as the era of the motorcycles it represents. Preserved for eternity – or at least for a very special night amongst motorbike enthusiasts.

The first edition of ˮThe Archaeologist" is reserved for Ehinger's most loyal customers and is only served in Ehinger's garage. A limited number were distributed via the website's online shop and sold out within hours. Advance orders for the next series can be placed from now on.
