Default New Bottle - HDC 5 year

So I just got back from Chihuahua and visited the Hacienda de Chihuahua (Vinomex) distillery. They are releasing a 5 year anejo of their 100% sotol product and are considering different logos and bottle designs. They would love to have your feedback on both. What do you guys think?

My thoughts were that I like the flat black bottle, even though it is similar to chinaco negro. The other Xtra bottle is similar to what they use now with the X replacing the H. Logo options include H to the 5th, Cinco, and X for Xtra.

By far the black bottle looks better. It stands out whereas the other just looks like a regular bottle. As for the logo options, I like Cinco or X. The best being Cinco. I think it gets the point across of the aging and at the same time goes well with the name. I would avoid H to the 5th at all costs because if I heard that I would assume it is cheap or considered more of a joke (with the play on hip wording) and would be less likely to buy it. That is just my opinion.

i agree with joe, the black one just looks mean, and an x wouldn't do the bottle any justice, would look like one of those bottles you see in the old black and white movies with "XXX" for the moonshine. :CINCO" would stand out more and look more presentable to the public.

I like the black, but sometimes it is nice to see the color. The extra aged spirits have such a wonderful mohogany or dark amber color that seems classy. Either way. For the logo I would have to pick H5 or Cinco, both get the point across.

The black by far would stand out, I'm in agreeance with everyone. Although I like the H to the 5. Its different and sitting on a line with the other HDC products it would stand out as a premium.
