Liviko's Vana Tallinn liqueur is getting a redesigned bottle and label that give the long-running drink a cleaner, more international look while keeping it recognizable on the shelf. Created with Stranger & Stranger, the package borrows from Tallinn's Old Town, using roofline and arch references to tie the bottle back to the city behind its name.
An embossed glass emblem on the front nods to old document seals, giving the bottle a tactile cue that reads as premium in hand. Inside, the recipe stays the same, with Jamaican rum and citrus keeping the familiar profile intact as the outside shifts.
Now, the bottle does more of the brand storytelling before a pour, which can make an older favorite easier to spot among modern spirits labels. It also shows how heritage drinks can use refined design as a form of authenticity rather than a full reset.
