It’s easy to take corn for granted, but it’s a form of produce with a deep, rich history and reverence. Its versatility and life-giving powers have made it one of the most valuable crops in the Americas for millennia, and indigenous communities have an especially strong connection to the plant.

The whiskey brand Milpa pays an ultra-cool homage to this storied legacy with a sleekly traditional bottle design from Monograf Studio. While the symbols, colors, and typography come together seamlessly, there’s a whole lot of history Easter eggs in this smart design, which not only references the culture of Mesoamerica, but the more recent established culture of Mexican cantinas.
