Olmeca Tequila looks to attract party-goers with new bottle design

Pernod Ricard has revamped the bottle design for its Olmeca Tequila to showcase the spirit’s fun side and engage a younger, party-going consumer base.

The new design has been created with consumers aged between 18 and 28 years in mind, and is now made from a minimum of 20% recycled glass.

Olmeca has married Mexican tradition with modern innovation, taking inspiration from the first major civilisation in Mexico – the Olmec. The bottle is now adorned with glyph-like engravings to give it a modern, refined look.

The on-pack engravings now include two toasting shots by night, while also recognising the spirit’s base material – blue agave.

Damien Batteux, global marketing manager – Olmeca at Pernod Ricard, said: “Although rooted in Olmec civilisation and traditional Tequila-making, innovation is at the heart of the Olmeca brand.

“For the first time in almost 18 years, we’ve given the iconic Olmeca bottle a modern makeover that pays tribute to the classic Olmeca design – promising instant recognition – but adds a shot of fun through bolder branding and visual codes.

“This includes a new, geometric-cut bottle – featuring a longer neck to enable easier pouring for cocktails, shottails and more – along with on-pack references to Tequila rituals and shot-taking, which we’re confident will help generate global appeal among an audience of fun-seeking party starters, across both the on- and off-trade.”

The updated design features a two-piece label to stand out from competitor brands on the market. The label includes a round Olmeca logo and a rectangular product information label.

The new design became available in all markets from the start of February, spanning the entire Olmeca portfolio, including: Olmeca Silver, Olmeca Gold, Olmeca Reposado, Olmeca Añejo and Olmeca Dark Chocolate.

Olmeca Tequila won a trio of medals in The Tequila & Mezcal Masters 2022, including the top Master award for Olmeca Reposado.
