Malefico Tequila

The name Malefico, meaning “evil” in Spanish, draws from the mystical and symbolic side of Mexican culture, a world where darkness and ritual coexist with beauty and craft. This concept became the foundation for the brand’s visual identity. The name evokes mystery, duality, and quiet power, qualities that challenge the conventional image of tequila as merely festive or rustic. Instead, it introduces a more introspective and spiritual dimension to the category. Rooted in the mystical traditions of Jalisco, the brand explores the tension between light and shadow, purity and depth, a theme that guided every design decision. The faceted bottle was sculpted to embody this duality: sharp yet refined, modern yet timeless. Its geometry captures and divides light, creating a dynamic interplay of brightness and shadow that visually expresses the spirit of Malefico.
