Manuscrito, Cuento Corto

The label for Cuento Corto, a limited Valentine's release from Manuscrito Tequila in 2025.

What it needed to do

Manuscrito numbers its main releases as chapters. Cuento Corto, Spanish for “short story,” was a limited release for Valentine’s Day in 2025.

[What the release needed to do, in a sentence or two: who it was for, how many bottles there were, and how it was meant to stand apart from the chapters.]

[The tequila inside: the expression and the strength.]

What I made

I designed the Cuento Corto label. [What’s on it: the name, the illustration and the colors, and how they relate to the chapter labels.]

[Anything else I made for the release, such as bottle renderings, a sell sheet or a tasting sheet.]

A rendering of the bottle goes at the top of this page once it’s ready.

On press

The label is printed on [Label stock] by [Printer, if they can be named]. [The finish, and whether it uses Manuscrito’s copper foil.]

[A production note, if there’s a good one: proofs, a press check, anything that changed on press.]

Where it lives

[Where Cuento Corto was sold, and whether any bottles are left.] The where-to-buy map I designed for Manuscrito lists stores and bars in 44 Wisconsin towns. The full list is on the in-store page.
