It’s impossible to look at this bottle of Mavem Aguardente and not feel compelled to reach out and touch it. This Portuguese brandy was designed by MEGUSTA strategic brand design, from ideation to packaging, and the results are exceptional. Ornate details and a refreshing blue make it a totally one-of-a-kind spirit.

“From scratch, creation of a new brand concept, name, identity and packaging for a Portuguese aguardente (brandy), all based on the idea of discovery and the 15th century, the Golden Age of Portugal.”
