About Cascahuin Tequila
Cascahuin is a bottle designed for tequila. The mouth, ring and neck of the bottle were modified so that the sealing system works with a cork stopper. The brand icon is applied in high relief on the neck, which gives the package a characteristic seal. The glass container is produced by blow molding, with sodium-calcium glass as the base material. The stopper is made from selected natural cork grains inked with food grade vegetable pigments. The bottle measures 70 by 70 by 260 millimeters. The design takes inspiration from pre-Hispanic crafts, materials and the reading of the stars.

- Production Technology
- The production process of the glass container will be carried out by blow molding. The standardization of the base material considers its base in sodium-calcium glass.
For the stopper - cork is produced a type Spark, developed to measure, using selected natural cork grains and inked with food grade vegetable pigments. - Design Challenge
- One of the obstacles that we presented in the development of the bottle was the manufacture in blown glass, since it was very important to have the details with quality and fineness as well as the cork carved in stone.
- Research
- The graphic identity of Tequila Cascahuín was developed from the conceptualization of three elements that affect the agricultural processes of the blue agave: the earth, the stars and time.
To talk about the earth, pastel pigments were used for the development of the graphic variables, reading the accidents and qualities of this material; like the one that decomposes organically achieving pulverization, silences and tonalities of earthy sensations.
The game with the stars invites to conceive the cycles of cultivation as a rhythm that frames the agave landscape in nights and days, crickets and cicadas, rain and sleep.
Determine the auspicious times, of planting, cultivation and harvest.
Time marks the fullness and aging, which is represented by a bowl, a small cup with a concave shape made of clay, guaje or wood; used by our pre-Hispanic ancestors. The symbol of the bowl represents the matrix, the origin. In our ancestral tradition, the jícaras and vessels were used mainly as containers for water and food, they are the guardians of life over time. - Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from our pre-Hispanic ancestors, their crafts, their materials and the use of the stars for each decision making
