Designed to be 818 Añejo Reserve bottle. Its silhouette became the brand’s logo. Eight Reserve is a custom ceramic decanter shaped around the silhouette of the numeral eight. Designed as a sculptural object first and a vessel second, it is produced by local artisans in Pachuca, Mexico. The decanters are fabricated through traditional slip casting, sanded by hand, and kiln-fired for 13 hours at 1,200 degrees Celsius. Finished in small batches with a tactile matte glaze. The result is a unique object meant to stay on display long after the bottle is empty.
