Background

Mi León Tequila is a conceptual tequila brand inspired by the story of a family-owned distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. The project explored how packaging could celebrate the brand's heritage while creating a distinctive presence within a crowded spirits market.

The identity was developed through the design of a complete packaging system, including bottle graphics, labels, neck tags, and supporting brand elements. Particular attention was given to balancing regulatory requirements with storytelling, creating a package that communicates both the product and the people behind it.
